This Saturday evening, Taylor Swift takes to the stage for the inaugural concert at Investors Group Field. The show begins at 6:30 p.m. with the Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan going into effect at 5 p.m. 

 

While Taylor Swift fans may begin arriving on campus earlier in the afternoon, regular weekend parking rules will apply until 5 p.m. At that time, those with valid U of M parking permits are asked to move their vehicles to the following designated lots:

 

·         A Lot

·         B Lot

·         L Lot

·         AC Lot (southeast corner of Freedman Crescent)

·         CTC Lot at the Crop Technology Centre

·         D Lot (June-August only)

·         R Lot (June-August only)

 

U of M regular and casual parking permit holders who are coming or going from campus between 5 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Saturday night are asked to use the dedicated entrance at Kings Drive. This entrance is for U of M regular and casual parking permit holders only and is intended to make accessing and leaving campus faster and easier for staff and students.

 

Winnipeg Transit will also be adding extra buses to the following Regular Transit Routes beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 22 to accommodate access to the University:

 

·      Route 60 Pembina

·      Route 75 Crosstown East

·      Route 78 Crosstown West

·      Route 161 “Extras”

 

The next event at Investors Group Field is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers home opener on Thursday, June 27. Students who are registered for an evening class on June 27 have received an email outlining access to casual parking options.  Event Day casual parking passes are available for faculty, staff and students who are scheduled to work,  teach, or attend a class on campus during an event.

Again, I thank you for your patience as we work with our partners at the Winnipeg Football Club and the City of Winnipeg to make event days an enjoyable experience for members of our university community.
