Bombers opener sold out, new bus plan in place

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have sold out their first regular game of the season -- scheduled for Thursday at their brand new stadium.

Investors Group Field has been plagued by parking and traffic issues during a pre-season game and a recent concert, but officials think they’ve solved the majority of issues.

They expect about 33,400 fans to pack the stadium near the University of Manitoba Thursday night.

On Tuesday, Winnipeg Transit released their revised schedule to accommodate increased usage on game days.

Transit officials hope about a third of the fans will use transit to get to and from the game.

The new schedule is available on Winnipeg Transit's website.
