Pro Football

In advance of the upcoming May 31st pre-season game, the Winnipeg Football Club would like to share important parking and transportation information for fans travelling to and from IG Field for Blue Bomber games this season. Fans driving to the game can either pre-purchase their parking passes or pay upon arrival in the gold, blue or value lots. There is plenty of on-campus parking for $5 – $20 per vehicle in close proximity to the stadium. There is a new route 4 Park & Ride location – Grant Park Shopping Centre (next to Pony Corral), which replaces the Manitoba Hydro location. This was necessitated due to construction soon to commence on Taylor Avenue. All other Park & Ride locations have remained the same as last season. Fans should note that seasonal lane closures throughout the city may be introduced during the season, potentially increasing travel time to IG Field. Always check for current lane closure information prior to travelling to the stadium. Current information can be found atwww.winnipeg.ca/publicworks/trafficcontrol/laneclosures. Fans are also encouraged to download the Waze app to their smartphones to receive real-time road and traffic information when travelling to and from Blue Bomber games.
