Are you heading down to Princess Auto Stadium to see the Winnipeg Blue Bombers? Make sure you plan ahead for how you’ll get to the game.
The team is encouraging people to arrive early. They're offering their own parking and park and ride services. We have a few transportation options you can also consider.
Winnipeg Transit
The University of Manitoba and Princess Auto Stadium are on our Southwest Transitway. It runs from Downtown to the neighbourhoods of Southwest Winnipeg.
Two park-and-ride stations can be found along the BLUE rapid transit line with more than 1,000 on-site free parking spots. They can be found at the Clarence and Seel stations.
Make sure to download the Winnipeg Transit app to easily check schedules and find the bus stop locations. It's also accessible through your internet browser.
Active transportation
Rather cycle or walk to the stadium? The active transportation path running alongside the entire Southwest Transitway is a great option.
You can connect to it using any active transportation routes that intersect with the Transitway. It features bridges just for active transportation users over McGillivray Boulevard and Pembina Highway.
The route is also illuminated at night to enhance safety and visibility. Each station along the Southwest Transitway is also outfitted with bike lockers, which allows you easy transitions from bike to bus.
Once you get to Princess Auto Stadium, there is a Bike Valet outside of the northeast gate operated by the Winnipeg Football Club.
Driving
For people who prefer to drive to the game, it is important to keep in mind we are also in the middle of a busy road construction season. You're encouraged to download the Waze app and use it hands-free to help get to the game as efficiently as possible.
Waze will advise you know of lane closures and give you route options to minimize the impact of the road construction. Make sure to check out the team's parking information ahead of time.
