About
This will be the seventh time Calgary has played host to the Tim Hortons Brier, and the fourth time it’s been played at the Saddledome — the three previous visits to the Saddledome (curling capacity: approximately 19,000 seats) produced Alberta champions: Kevin Martin in 1997 and 2009, and Randy Ferbey in 2002. Calgary previously played host in 1948, 1961 and 1980.
The 1997 Brier featured the single-game attendance record for the event: 17,024.
The 2015 Tim Hortons Brier will also be notable as it will feature, for the first time, both a Team Canada entry — the winner of the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier in Kamloops, B.C. — as well as a pre-qualifying round that will determine the final 12-team field for the main round robin. Fifteen teams (the 14 Member Associations and Team) will be eligible to compete in the Tim Hortons Brier. Four teams will compete in the pre-qualifying round just before round-robin play begins to determine the final two entries. The format will be announced at a later date.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Team Canada Rocks!
by HabfanCole on 3/11/15Scotiabank Saddledome - CalgaryLucky to have met Team Canada at the Opening Banquet on my birthday! Called their victory and got them to sign a jacket I made with all the provincial & territorial flags sewn on it; just them, as I said it would be worth more when they won. They kept me hanging, cheering, and drinking until the very last rock, totally awesome!!
Rating: 5 out of 5by Anonymous on 3/11/15Scotiabank Saddledome - Calgary The shots were phenomenal! The teams were amazing! Our seats were great! The final game was the best! The food choices were many although a little pricey. The security were non-existent on Saturday night when we needed them most as there were several drunk men in our section that were out of control.

by romatt on 3/10/15Scotiabank Saddledome - CalgaryGood seat for a Brier event. Could see all 4 sheets of ice if a round robin game. Great for Ice C semi final. Just a hard seat.

by Melspy on 3/9/15Scotiabank Saddledome - CalgaryEverything was well organized, especially during the time that no curling was happening. The MC got the crowd into whatever event they'd organized for the lulls. We had to look at the jumbotron for the shots though. Being at ice level isn't the best angle for curling I guess.

by NBCurlingMom on 3/5/15Scotiabank Saddledome - CalgaryOverall, an awesome experience to see the NB Rookies Curl at the Brier. The only negative comment I would give is.... Although I see the importance of having groups of school children attend, they need to be taught proper curling etiquette. Curling is not hockey and the constant screaming is difficult for both curlers and fans (who paid a lot of money to enjoy the games). Hockey is a noisy active game in itself with loud music traditionally and lots of loud action on ice and off. Curling has many moments of high concentration and silence, and also requires the players to clearly communicate with one another constantly firm one end of the ice to another. Teachers need to reign the kids in and "teach" when it's appropriate to respond. Most of the screaming was not even relevant to the play.
