WINNIPEG, MB., June 6, 2016 – With the football season upon us, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers want to remind fans that there is plenty of on-campus parking for $10 – $20 per vehicle at the University of Manitoba for anyone wishing to drive to and from home games.

There have been only a few changes to the transportation plan from 2015, most notably the reduction in park and ride routes from nine to seven. The Garden City Shopping Centre and Kildonan Place locations will not be operating in 2016. Riders in the Garden City area are encouraged to use the McPhillips Station park and ride, while Kildonan Place riders can utilize transit route 75 at Kildonan Place, or alternatively can use the Club Regent park and ride.

“We are always looking at ways to reduce the time it takes for our fans to transport to and from games, as well as provide fans a number of transportation alternatives. We feel that reducing the number of park and rides should help speed up the existing process, and also reduce costs of the transportation plan, which the Winnipeg Football Club is responsible for,” said President & CEO, Wade Miller.

Fans can find all updated transportation information at bluebombers.com/park-and-ride/.

Fans should also note that seasonal lane closures throughout the city may be introduced during the season, potentially increasing travel time to Investors Group Field. Always check for current lane closure information prior to travelling to the stadium. Current information can be found at http://winnipeg.ca/publicworks/trafficcontrol/laneclosures/.
