Saturday’s clash between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders — dubbed the Banjo Bowl — is officially sold out, the Winnipeg club announced this morning.

There will be 33,234 fans at Investors Group Field when the annual rematch of the Labour Day Classic kicks off at 3 p.m. The Blue Bombers (6-4) have won five straight CFL contests, including a 28-25 triumph over Saskatchewan (1-9) last weekend in Regina.
