Calgary: An Eagles show, not a hockey game, will be the first occasion in the Scotiabank Saddledome after floodwaters decimated its lower levels in June.

The rock band's again to-back shows on September 11 and 12 will serve as test occasions for the Saddledome, which is looking much as it did preceding June 21 when the Elbow River spouted into the occasion level, rose to the eighth column of seats and submerged the Calgary Flames changing area.

Something like 2,500 seats have been traded and another ice plant was commissioned. Ice is once again on the stadium surface and the glass along the sheets has been raised, though still swathed in pressing paper.

The work isn't completed. The occasion level was full of steps and groups, however the coliseum accepted its inhabitance allow keep going Friday, consistent with King.

NHL primary camps open September 11. The Flames will hold preparing camp in an alternate stadium, however King wants their first show diversion September 14 to be played at the Saddledome.

The occasion level is the least floor in the building and the nerve habitat for shows and hockey recreations.

Kitchens, hockey shirts and supplies, staff regalia and the gadgets that work the monstrous scoreboard are only a couple of illustrations of what the 30-year-old Saddledome lost in the surges that cleared through southern Alberta.

The enclosure is an essential show venue for the yearly Calgary Stampede. KISS, the Dixie Chicks and Tim Mcgraw were constrained to reschedule and the Carly Rae Jepson show was scratched off.

However, King calls the Saddledome's restoration "marvelous."

There was no time for extravagant redesigns and foremen needed to work rapidly without diagrams, Blanchard said.
