New stadium for the Bombers confirmed.
Quote:
Canad Inns was built in 1953 and seats 29,533. The new stadium will have 33,000 fixed seats but be able to accommodate 40,000 for major events like the Grey Cup — which will be held in Winnipeg by 2017, Selinger also announced.
There will also be 40 private suites and a Hall of Fame for the club.
The stadium will be built on an eight-hectare site at Chancellor-Matheson Road and University Crescent on the U of M campus. An inflatable dome will cover the field in winter so university teams can use it during the CFL off-season.
In addition to the stadium, the site will feature a multiplex athletic facility for the university and its Bison sports teams.
It will include a refurbished university stadium and new fitness centre.

Combine that with the new stadium that is going to be built in Regina and two of the oldest crappiest stadiums in the CFL will now be replaced with state of the art buildings.
