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.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“We for a certainty are not the first
Have sat in taverns while the tempest hurled
Their hopeful plans to emptiness, and cursed
Whatever brute and blackguard made the world.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
