Mac Hall is the best place to see a band. You can easily get close to the stage. You have to stand. The sound is pretty good. There will probably be a beer garden in the back. Park underground and leave your coats in the car. It takes forever to get your coats after the show if you use the coat-check.

The Den is right across the way.

Saw the New Pornographers there last night. Mac Hall is my favorite place to see bands in Calgary. Why would you want to see a band at the saddle dome?

The University of Calgary Students’ Union’s expansion to MacEwan Hall opened in January 2002. The 50,000 square foot facility will replace the Ballroom, built in 1967, as a live music venue and have a capacity of approximately 1,800. The venue will also be used as a conference and trade show space.
