The people that know the Stampede surprise me the most. Didn't think it registered too much in Europe.

Yeah, I think it also depends on when you traveled and what the age of the person you're speaking to is. Most of the younger Australians and Brits I've talked to know the city for the Stampede and access to the mountains. Regardless, it's a pretty irrelevant debate.
