Stadium Information

About Shell Energy Stadium:

The stadium ground breaking occurred in February 2011 and hosted it's first event in May of 2012, just a little over a year later. As a result of the late ground breaking, the Dynamo had to play their first seven games of the 2012 season on the road.

Tour Info:

Tours can be conducted for groups of 10 or more, Monday-Friday. No tours will be given on game or other event days. For more information, please visit group tours.

Security Screenings:

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy:

All bags larger than 14"x14"x6" such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena.  All bags are subject to inspection before entry.
