The BMO Centre is the largest convention centre in Calgary, Alberta and the largest in Western Canada. It is located in Stampede Park, which is in the Beltline district south of downtown Calgary.[1] The BMO Centre was previously known as the Round-up Centre.[2]

In March 2016, the Calgary Stampede organization announced plans to demolish the adjacent Stampede Corral to make way for a $500 million expansion of the BMO Centre.[3]
