The Grey Cup Fan Experience is humming today #Winnipeg
November 15, 2025 at 6:42 PM
The last Grey Cup to be played in Winnipeg was in 2015. The upstart Ottawa Redblacks, then in their second year, made it to the final to take on Edmonton. Local enthusiasm was pretty low for this one as the Bombers were coming off a few terrible years...

Another walk down Winnipeg Grey Cup memory lane, this time to 2006. By this point the City of Winnipeg, the Bombers and the CFL had bounced back from their late 90s malaise and this was a much better experience than the last one in 1998.

Yesterday it was the 1991 Grey Cup, today I'll look back at the 1998 Grey Cup.

This one was the opposite of 1991. The hype of that year was replaced by malaise about everything... the Bombers (who were terrible), the CFL (which had barely survived a crisis) and even Winnipeg itself...

I love how WestJet makes you acknowledge that their ultra basic fares suck before they actually let you book it

Grey Cup week in Winnipeg always brings back memories of 1991. The hype and excitement that year were off the chart, and the game at old Winnipeg Stadium didn't disappoint.

It was back when the Grey Cup was still firmly in the national spotlight.

It's cool to see that the PWHL is coming to Winnipeg in March. But you don't have to wait for them to come to town to enjoy elite women's hockey... the U of M Bison women have been serving it up for 25 years.

Going right down to the wire in Regina tonight 😬

The Saturday chores and tasks can wait, there is a football game being played. With playoff implications. #HornsUp

Looks weird man #Winnipeg

It was a late arriving crowd for the 7:00 start, but the people eventually showed up

Behold the AI-generated subway map of #Winnipeg.

What the hell is Lyaire, though? And why are there two Polo Parks? And who is St. Forks?

University sports in Canada are wild.

An institution of 30,000 students, a school team playing the national sport against a pro team in the big downtown arena, and this is what it looks like.

Call me crazy, but I feel like it could be way more than what it is.

At the last bastion of true Canadian football... USports action, Manitoba vs. UBC

The U of M Bisons have a rookie offensive lineman who stands 6 foot 8 and weighs 395.

Must be a tough assignment for the Canada West conference defensive linemen out there

I love how some of the brand names on Amazon just roll right off the tongue

I saw this jersey at the Bomber Shop and it looks off. Why are the numbers so short?

Massive respect to the Manitoba Metis Federation for continuing to support Ukraine and for flying this flag at Portage and Main

It would be nice to have a venue for junior A, AAA and big tournaments. I don't think there's any other city like Winnipeg with absolutely nothing between the NHL arena and tiny local community rinks.

Even Saskatoon has this as its secondary arena...

Perfect day for some Canada West football between Manitoba and Saskatchewan
September 13, 2025 at 10:37 PM
Well I'll be damned. Valour FC just knocked off the top team in the CanPL.

But will it be enough to reignite their playoff hopes?

I wonder if a Blue Jays player has ever even been in the same room as one of these buns

What a difference six days makes. From absolutely roasting in the sun at Mosaic to seeing some parkas and toques in the stands today at Princess Auto Stadium
