Hating Stampede has become a sort of unfortunate tradition in Calgary these days. I like the street culture that emerges for these 10 days, I like that a lot more Calgarians stay out past 9:00.
What irritates me is that Calgarians only do this for 10 days a year. After Stampede it's just back to business, and the Core dies again.
Personally, I try to enjoy the grounds, but it is incredibly boring unless you're wasted.
