The steel piles are in the ground and now the concrete is being poured on the new football stadium for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and University of Manitoba Bisons.
The club announced that the first concrete pour took place this morning at 10 a.m.
“It’s very exciting to reach another crucial construction point on schedule,” said Ossama AbouZeid, Project Manager. “Everything is continuing to move as we planned and we’re pleased with the progress to date.”
The Bombers and Bisons will open the new stadium in 2012.
