Investors Group Field Event Day Parking and Information

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.

There will be changes to how you access campus on event days that are listed below. 

Please make sure that you are aware of them and if you have any questions please contact us: 204-474-6100.

• The Event Day Parking Plan will be in effect for all events that are expected to attract more than 15,000 people.
• Access to the Fort Garry Campus will be limited 90 minutes 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 during this 90 minute window
• Access for U of M permit holders will only be granted via King’s Drive and parking will only be permitted in:
• A Lot, L Lot (except L Residence)
• B Lot
• AC Lot (southeast corner of Freedman Crescent)
• CT Lot at the Crop Technology Centre
• 30 minutes after the start of the event, limited access will be available for vehicular pick-up and drop-off, however the parking plan will still be in effect and casual parking will not be available.
• All other visitors will be able to enter the campus using public transportation (transit bus) or active transportation (walk, run, bike, roller-blade).
• Full access to campus will open up 60 minutes after the end of the event.

These changes will likely affect the following dates:
