Thanks all, we are leaving early tomorrow morning.

What area outside of the stadium is the tailgating?

You can find tailgating all over the place near the stadium.   If you are taking rapid transit to the game, you may want to head over to the parking lots near University & Dysart.  The official team area is just east side of the building (corner of Chancellor Matheson & University).  Here's a rough map with some locations where you can find tailgating.

The official party area on the east side of the stadium is actually great. Last game there was a wrestling ring set up and local wrestling going on. There is always live music.

They could use one more bar area to keep the beer flowing freely but otherwise it's a really good time.

You are all awesome, thanks for the help.    Hope we can toss a few back together on Saturday

Cheers!!!

*edit* I forgot I had one other question, is IGF a cashless stadium like Mosaic?

Cashless. 

Are you foodie people? There's lots of great restaurants in Winnipeg. 

Winnipeg punches way above it's weight class in terms of restaurants.

Personally thought teasers was over rated. Centerfolds was real tho.

Yeah, they expanded the official tailgate area this year and it's still packed most games.

I havent heard if the Riders are having Riderville this year.

Greetings all, the LDC was another epic event and had an incredible time with many Bombers fans here in Regina.   It was such a great time that we have decided to get tickets to the Banjo Bowl and are very excited about attending this event with the other best fanbase in the CFL.   We have tickets in Section 143 and we are staying at the Alt Hotel downtown.   Any suggestions or recommendations would be very much appreciated of good places to party or visit.   We are arriving late Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday.

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions and responses, we can't wait.

Prepare to have drinks thrown on you, the back of your chair kicked, someone may pee on you or harass your wife. Oops sorry, I’m reading from the Rider fans LD playbook 😂

Thanks to everyone, it was an excellent weekend in Winnipeg.  Wonderful people and a great place to party. 

Thank you
