June 12 Event Day Access and Parking

Tonight, at 7 p.m., the first Winnipeg Blue Bomber home game will take place at Investors Group Field. With this exciting event come changes to how vehicles can access campus, and where they can park.

All scheduled events at Investors Group Field take place outside of regular university work hours. However, those of you who work or teach in the evenings or on weekends may have to park in alternate lots or change how you come to campus on event days.

For a complete rundown of how to access and park on campus this evening, please go to http://myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/index.asp?sec=2&too=100&eve=8&dat=6/10/2013&npa=31000

Further information, including answers to some frequently asked questions, can be found at: http://investorsgroupfield.ca/university/. The university’s Parking Services website also has relevant information. You can find it here: http://umanitoba.ca/campus/parking/igf.html

Regular reminders and updates about event days will also be posted on Twitter via the @UMoutstanding account.  

There will be two more event days in June - the Taylor Swift concert on Saturday, June 22 and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers home opener on Thursday, June 27.

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.

I encourage all of you to take in an event at the new stadium. 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.
