A packed house could be coming to an IG Field near you.
Owing to a decrease in COVID-19 infections and an increase in vaccination rates, the Manitoba government announced Wednesday an easing of health restrictions effective July 17. Included are professional sports teams, which are now permitted to have full capacity for games, so long as patrons are fully vaccinated, and their return-to-play protocols have been approved by Public Health.

Jerseys and cowbells will be coming out of storage and into stadiums soon.
Up until Wednesday, the Winnipeg Football Club has been tight-lipped about what their plans to have fans back at IG Field will be. With restrictions changing, saying how many people would be back for August 5 would be a difficult call. Now, the Bombers and other professional sports teams are free to fill their stadiums in Manitoba at full capacity. It s going to only fully vaccinated people and those under the age of 12 who are accompanied by fully vaccinated people. We feel that it s an appropriate risk for most people and again individuals are going to need to decide on their risk tolerance, Roussin says in a Wednesday press conference.
