Canad Inns Stadium (formerly Winnipeg Stadium) is a Canadian footballstadium located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The stadium, originally completed in 1953, seats 29,503 for football. It has been the home of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL since 1953, and has also been home to various incarnations of the Winnipeg Goldeyes and Winnipeg Whips baseball teams. Due to various renovations for football, though, the stadium was an increasingly poor site for baseball games, and the latest incarnation of the Goldeyes moved to a new baseball-only stadium in 1999.

Winnipeg is the capital of Manitoba, a vast, resource-rich province somewhat larger in size than the states of California, New York and Indiana combined.
Winnipeg was founded in 1734 as a fur trading settlement at the junction of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers.
Winnipeg's seemingly endless blue prairie skies, and dramatic sunsets are taken for granted by long-time residents, but are a consistent source of delight for newcomers to the city.
