Sports

WINNIPEG – The Blue Bombers kick off the CFL season on June 14th, how are you getting to the game?

The Bombers released parking and transportation information for fans travelling to and from Investors Group Field for Blue Bomber games this season.

If you are driving to the game can either pre-purchase parking passes or pay when you get to the gold, blue or value lots. There is plenty of on-campus parking for $10 – $20 per vehicle.

There is a new route 7 Park & Ride location – St. Vital Centre in front of The Bay (west side entrance), which replaces the Southdale Red River Co-op location. All other Park & Ride locations have remained the same as last season.

Remember, the seasonal lane closures throughout the city may be introduced during the season, potentially increasing travel time.
