Opened in 1981, it was originally known as the Round-up Centre. The facility was expanded in 2000 to include a new ballroom and exhibit hall and again in 2009 with new meeting rooms and exhibit hall.[1]
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.[5] Construction began in April 2021 and was completed in March 2024.[6][7] The 565,000 sq ft (52,500 m2) expansion officially opened on June 5, 2024.[4]
