Foothills Stadium, formerly Burns Stadium, is a stadium in Calgary, Alberta. It is primarily used for baseball, and was formerly home to the Calgary Cannons AAA baseball club until September 2002, when the team relocated to Albuquerque. It is now the home field of the Calgary Vipers of the Golden Baseball League. It originally opened in 1966. The most notable early team to play in the stadium was the Calgary Expos of the Pioneer League.
