Dino Extinction Tour (Golden Bears & Pandas vs Dinos) proudly supported by Global Edmonton

The Dino Extinction Tour turns Alberta’s most storied collegiate rivalry into a season long spectacle, pitting the University of Alberta Golden Bears and Pandas against the University of Calgary Dinos in a province wide showdown of pride, grit, and competitive fire. More than a schedule of games, the Tour is a tongue in cheek, fan fuelled campaign built on friendly banter and the belief that this is the year the Golden Bears and Pandas send the Dinos into extinction.

Rooted in decades of north vs south tension, the rivalry between Edmonton and Calgary has shaped the identity of university sport in Alberta. Every matchup becomes a statement and a chance for U of A athletes to prove that green and gold runs deeper, fights harder, and refuses to back down. Whether it’s on the pitch, the ice, the court, or the field, the Dino Extinction Tour celebrates the intensity, the history, and the electric atmosphere that only this provincial clash can deliver.

This year’s Tour brings a full slate of marquee matchups across multiple sports, each one an opportunity for fans to show up, get loud, and help push the Golden Bears and Pandas to victory. Every win is fuel for campus pride. Every loss stings. And every game adds another chapter to a rivalry that has defined Alberta athletics for generations.
