It was my first rough necks games in many years and I’ll definitely be coming to more!
First time taking the family to a game and it was awesome! The atmosphere was just go from the moment we walked into the Dome. My kids were standing up and joining the cheering and singing and post goal celebrations. Awesome time had by all!
Really enjoyed the game and the crowd. Totally different culture than a Flames or Stamps game.
It was great I wish I had more room to jump around even on the first level. You’re so close to your neighbours. But it has nothing to do with how incredible the game is and it’s amazing!
The crowd is very inconsiderate, leaving their seats and returning to their seats. The people could wait for a break in action before standing in front of the other fans. This only seems to happen at Lacrosse games. I know they call this hockey eddicite but it is also followed at football games.
Had a fantastic time at the roughnecks game! More than just a game, but a whole party!
Tons of fun. The kids loved the energy in the stadium. We went to the Flames game the day before and we all enjoyed the party atmosphere at the roughnecks game more than the atmosphere at the flames game.
I enjoyed the game but found that sometimes there would be different things on the big screen while game going on. Would be nice if more coordination between two.
Fast hard hitting jaw dropping experience. And Girl crush nice to hear at half time
It was our first time to a Calgary Roughnecks game and the saddle dome. My boys first ever NLL game and they loved every minute of it. This experience just increases my disappointment that the Rush left Edmonton and we still don’t have a pro lacrosse team. Well done in the game experience including fan appreciation night. We will definitely return to Calgary in the future for another game.
