In 2021, the Bombers, Manitoba government and Triple B Stadium Inc. established a capital fund dedicated to long-term stadium maintenance and improvements. Last year, the CFL club allocated a total of $12.9 million ($11.9 million to the fund, $1 million to its operating reserve) which equalled its overall profit for the year.<\/p>\n

Total operating revenue in 2025 reached $82.8 million, an increase of $28.1 million over the prior year, as Winnipeg hosted the 112th Grey Cup. Operating expenses rose to $70.7 million (up from $47.7 million in 2024), again attributable to staging the Grey Cup.<\/p>\n

Last year, $8.4 million was invested in stadium projects. That included a new players\u2019 lounge, HVAC remediation, additional contactless security screening devices, and concession equipment to improve capacity and the speed of service. The Bombers also just completed the installation of two new high-resolution videoboards at Princess Auto Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely proud of our financial results for 2025, strengthened by a sold-out season that averaged more than 33,000 fans per game,\u201d Bombers president\/CEO Wade Miller said in a statement. \u201cThese results are a testament to the continued support of our season-ticket members, corporate partners, and fans.<\/p>\n
