ATCO Field, Soccer stadium in Foothills County, Canada
ATCO Field is a soccer stadium in Foothills County with a grass playing surface and a main grandstand accommodating roughly 4,500 spectators. Seating sections at the north and south ends provide additional capacity for visitors.
The stadium was built in 2018 when the Southern family acquired a professional soccer team for the Canadian Premier League and redeveloped part of the Spruce Meadows property. This marked the arrival of top-tier soccer in the Alberta region.
The stadium hosts matches for Cavalry FC in the Canadian Premier League, attracting soccer fans from across the region. Professional games here have become part of the local sports culture and draw crowds throughout the season.
ATCO Field sits at Spruce Meadows in Foothills County, reached by road; congestion on Alberta Highway 22X caused many fans to miss the start of the first league match in 2019, and free shuttles from a nearby public transit station were introduced afterwards. Those shuttles stopped running by 2023, though a lounge in Calgary's far south still runs one. The stadium is modular and privately funded, with a covered east grandstand and seats at the north and south ends.
ATCO Field was built with a modular design that lets the Southern family, owners of both the club and the naming sponsor ATCO, add seats as demand grows. The venue sits inside Spruce Meadows and also hosts equestrian events for two to four weeks a year.
