Subway Soccer Centre
The Calgary Soccer Centre (formerly called the Subway Soccer Centre) is an indoor soccer facility located in Calgary, Alberta. The soccer centre is owned and operated by the City of Calgary. The centre is a prime venue for many minor soccer teams in Calgary. History On Monday, November 22, 2010, the Soccer Centre's expansions (known most commonly as "the bubble") collapsed for the second time in two years. According to Perry Logan, the general manager, the collapse was most likely caused by a supporting anchor collapsing before carving a rip in the material. Nobody was inside the bubble and therefore no one was injured in the incident. In 2014, the City of Calgary built a permanent second building (the Annex) to replace the previous structure (the "bubble"). The Annex houses three indoor soccer fields and one multi-purpose field. Sports The Calgary Soccer Centre also supports many other sports other than indoor and outdoor soccer, some of which would include field hockey, softb ...
