Canad Inns Stadium was a football venue in Winnipeg with multiple seating sections, artificial turf, and covered stands that held approximately 33,000 spectators. The facility had different levels that were expanded over time to increase capacity for events.
History
The venue opened in 1953 as a smaller facility that underwent several expansions over the following decades. Upper decks were added during the 1970s to accommodate increasing attendance.
