Plans
The stadium is scheduled to be replaced in 2013 by Investors Group Field, a new stadium currently under construction on the University of Manitoba campus. Groundbreaking for the new stadium took place on May 20, 2010. The Blue Bombers were originally expected to move in time for the 2012 CFL season, but construction delays at the new stadium will force the team to play their home games at Canad Inns for the season.
Plans were unveiled in June 2012 for the stadiums demolition and replacement with retail and commercial units. A new Target store was recently announced as the primary retail anchor for the site, replacing the Zellers store at the Polo Park Shopping Centre that will be closed by March 2013 and will not be converted to Target.

In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
