To:  All Students

On Sunday, May 26, 2013, Investors Group Field will open its doors for its first official event, the One Heart Service, which begins at 11:30 a.m. Access to campus and on-campus parking will not be restricted and personnel will be on hand to manage traffic flow and ensure safety concerns are dealt with.

There are 12 other major events scheduled to take place at Investors Group Field this year. During those events, access to campus and on-campus parking will follow the Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan. This plan was created in partnership with the City of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Football Club to ensure minimal disruptions for members of our campus community.

To find out more about the Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan, including links to interactive maps and information for transit riders, cyclists and pedestrians, please visit http://investorsgroupfield.ca/university/

A number of other activities and events will be happening at the stadium in the coming weeks, many bringing new visitors to campus. These activities include:

May 27 – Pyrotechnics testing will be ongoing from 9 a.m. to noon

May 29-June 9 – Bomber season ticket pick-up

June 2 – Bomber training camp begins

The next event day is June 12, 2013 when the Bombers face Toronto for a pre-season game. Kick-off is 7 p.m.

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.

Sincerely,

Andrew Konowalchuk

Associate Vice-President (Administration)
