Investors Group Field

30 Apr '13

This message is sent on behalf of Andrew Konowalchuk, Associate Vice-President (Administration) To: All Employees and All Students RE: Investors Group Field ________________________________ The final stage of construction is underway at Investors Group Field, ushering in a new and exciting era for athletics on our campus. Together, the completion of Investors Group Field and the university's Active Living Centre (2015) will make the U of M home to some of the best sports and recreation facilities in Canada. The result will be superior spaces for personal fitness, professional training, collegiate sports and campus cultural events. These new spaces will also bring visitors to campus, for Winnipeg Blue Bomber games and for other major concerts and events. In an effort to ensure that event days are a positive experience for all of us, we have worked with the City of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Football Club to create an event day plan that ensures minimal disruptions for the members of our campus community. The plan, which includes information for regular parkers, casual parkers, transit riders, cyclists and pedestrians, can be found at investorsgroupfield.ca<http://www.investorsgroupfield.ca/> The site, which re-launches today, includes specific information for U of M staff, faculty and students. It outlines what changes will take place on event days and how those changes will affect you. To keep you apprised of event day parking and other transportation-related news, we will be sending out regular communications via your U of M email address and various social media channels. For those wanting to receive updates via Twitter, we recommend following @UMoutstanding, which will provide reminders on or before event days. An event day parking map will also be added to the U of M app, for easy viewing on your smartphone or tablet. The University of Manitoba Bison Men's Football team will also be playing four home games in the new stadium, including the Homecoming game on September 28. Be part of a new era of football by coming out to support our team. Having superior spaces like Investors Group Field serve the students, staff and faculty of our university, making for a more dynamic, innovative and community-focused campus.
