Princess Auto Stadium, Football stadium at University of Manitoba, Canada.
Princess Auto Stadium is a football stadium at the University of Manitoba with a capacity of about 33,000 spectators. A metal corrugated roof extends over the seating areas to provide shelter, while fifty-two executive suites and lounges offer additional amenities for premium visitors.
Construction of the stadium began in 2013 under the direction of a partnership between Winnipeg, Manitoba province, and the University of Manitoba. The project was developed to provide the region with a modern sports venue capable of hosting major events.
The stadium serves as home to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League and Valour FC of the Canadian Premier League. Supporters from across the region gather here to cheer for their teams and experience local sports traditions.
The stadium is located at 315 Chancellor Matheson Road on the university campus and offers multiple parking areas connected to public transportation routes. Plan to arrive early on event days, as the campus can become crowded, and familiarize yourself with the layout to navigate easily.
The playing surface uses specialized turf designed to handle the extreme temperature swings between hot summers and harsh winters in Manitoba. This engineering allows the field to remain in playable condition throughout the year despite the region's climate challenges.
