It’s a very exciting time at the University of Manitoba. The new Investors Group Field – home to the University of Manitoba Bisons Football Team and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers – will bring many visitors and fans to campus, and we’re thrilled to welcome them here.
Working in partnership, the University of Manitoba, City of Winnipeg and Winnipeg Blue Bombers have developed an Event Day Plan to help direct visitors to campus and alleviate some of the traffic congestion that is expected on event days.
Access to the Fort Garry Campus will be limited 1.5 hours prior to large scale events (such as Bomber games and concerts). Only vehicles with a valid University of Manitoba or Winnipeg Blue Bombers season ticket parking pass will have access to the campus at these times (access for U of M permit holders will only be granted via King’s Drive). All other visitors will have to enter the campus using public transportation (transit bus) or active transportation (walk, run, bike, roller-blade).
These changes will likely affect a small number of days throughout the summer, but it is important that our patrons are aware and well informed.
Programs that will be affected are:
In the coming months, additional information will be available online and via our Customer Service Desk so you can make informed decisions about your child’s recreation programs. Visit www.investorsgroupfield.ca for more information.
The University of Manitoba and Active Living are committed to quality service and are looking forward to supporting their newest member on campus, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers! Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience.
