Commonwealth Stadium Concerts

Went to an Elks game vs my home town Bombers in August of 2023. Third game in this stadium. It is big for the CFL. The Elks hadn't won a game and were in the midst of a record at home losing streak so there was maybe 15000 in attendance. The concourses are more than wide enough and the even have a concourse within a concourse on each side of the stadium. Just a little horseshoe shaped extra concourse. I only have 2 complaints. 1 there is a lot of concrete and not the most appealing to the eye. 2. there are even more stairs. Either sit at the top of the lower deck or the bottom of the upper deck.

First off I have to say we went to commonwealth for the Heritage Classic not a football game. The stadium was nothing special in terms of fancy aspects but was pretty big and had a great capacity rating. I am going to state the couple problems that I had but I am understanding that this was fully sold out and for a hockey game not a football game. The set up on the concourse was not done well and made it nearly impossible to walk around the concourse. The beer and food options were not set up great and made it hard to even get anything and be back in time for the next period. Lastly the washrooms were so busy that there were disgusting things happening. On the positive side the seats were good and the experience of the game was amazing. I can see this being a good venue for a football game.

Had an amazing time at the Heritage Classic. Scotia Bank provided and, well... Oilers won! What a fantastic day in the City of Edmonton.

Commonwealth Stadium is the home of the Edmonton Elks football club. Their schedule runs from June to October. It is located in central Edmonton, just north of the downtown core, and holds approximately 56,000 people. It's also a great venue to host events such as track & field competitions and summer concerts such as Garth Brooks in 2022. I recently attended the Feast on the Field annual fundraiser event for Capital Care Foundation. Fabulous food, great entertainment, and wonderful people.

Great stadium, hadn’t been here since 2011, when the Eskimo’s got shellacked 54+ to nothing by the Lions. Heritage classic was great, seats in section BB were ok, but far from the ice, great angle though, I never buy seats from other angles, just at the corners. Brought back a lot of memories wondering around the venders.
