WINNIPEG, MB. - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will kick off the 2023 season at home June 9th when the team plays host to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at IG Field.

Fans are encouraged to stay in their seats for a special halftime performance by illusionist Darcy Oake Friday night. The gates will open 60 minutes before kickoff, with pre-game specials including $5.00 355ml cans of Molson Coors and Molson Coors Light, $3.50 fountain drinks and hot dogs. The Princess Auto Pre-game tailgate area opens at 5:30pm.

Also new for the 2023 season are jumbo food items. The feature for this week's game is a 32-inch hot dog with perogies, bacon bits, green onions and sour cream, available at section 125 for $45. In line with the jumbo theme, giant Noggin Boss hats are also newly available in the Bomber Store. Season ticket members received a 15% discount on merchandise in the Bomber Store and 10% off concession food items with their new season ticket member discount card.

"IG Field is home to the CFL's loudest fans, and the fun in the stadium, the atmosphere... it's all created by our fans," said Winnipeg Blue Bombers President & CEO, Wade Miller. "We can't wait to start a new season and to keep raising the bar in terms of the game day experience for our fans, both on and off the field."

Fans should also be on the lookout for new activations around the concourse this season, including life-size bobbleheads of mascots and players as well as an augmented reality photo booth allowing fans to take photos with players on the concourse - all virtually. 2023 Blue Bombers schedule magnets will also be handed out to fans as they head to their seats Friday night, courtesy of BellMTS, as well as giveaways at the 100 and 200 levels of the stadium all season long.

The Blue Bombers have also launched a new refreshed app for the 2023 season, available on all iOS and Android devices. In addition to being able to purchase and manage tickets directly through the app, all key team news, game day information and activations are available on mobile devices with this new one-stop shop for the game day fan experience.
