Winnipeg Football Club Announces Installation of New High-Resolution Video Boards at Princess Auto Stadium

WINNIPEG, MB., January 19, 2026 – The Winnipeg Football Club announced today that Princess Auto Stadium will debut brand-new, state-of-the-art video boards by Daktronics for the 2026 season, delivering a significantly enhanced visual experience for fans.

The new displays feature 3,091,200 pixels, surpassing the current system's 1,965,495 pixels by more than one million. This upgrade delivers a 57 percent increase in resolution, providing 1.57 times the clarity of the existing boards.

The upgraded video boards deliver a significant advancement in sharpness, brightness, and definition. This enhancement ensures fans enjoy clearer replays, more vibrant graphics, and an improved in-stadium entertainment experience.

"These new boards elevate the game day atmosphere and enhance how our fans experience football at Princess Auto Stadium," said Wade Miller, President & CEO of the Winnipeg Football Club. "We're committed to continuing to invest in our stadium and improving the fan experience every year. This upgrade brings significantly better image quality and integrates seamlessly with the ribbon boards we added last season."

Installation of the new video boards will be completed prior to the start of the 2026 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season, which kicks off on May 23 at Princess Auto Stadium.

Quote from: Jesse on Today at 07:14:48 PMThere's no particular place. And it's not the same 7 guys. They don't line up like it's on a paper depth chart, they're covering zones all over the field.

But just do the math.. if you only see 3 DL, how many guys are back there?

You're including the SAM as a DB instead of a LB which is fair.

Where would the extra two db line up to have seven in the secondary?

He doesn't have to gain weight to do that if he's on the AR as a DB. Getting him to add weight and convert to a DE is an interesting thought but 1% chance of that.

He would have been under contract for 2026. Does this mean he's signing a new deal for an extra season and more $$$$?  That would be good news.

He still has 11 days to sign an NFL deal.  But that is good news, if Tait is saying there's no NFL interest...

We'd better get Vaval under contract soon, before Grant hits FA.  I'd rather have Vaval than Grant, but I definite want to have at least one of them.

Quote from: gobombersgo on Today at 06:08:50 PMPlayers were bound to get raises as the SMS increased by over 412k last season.

So Walters has been spending left over money from 2025 as well as the increased amounts for 2026.
I know all that. Does not change the fact that resigning existing players alone is not going to do it for us, as much as I like the signings. We were a fourth place team. This is particularly so since its possible some of the players resigned or already signed may take a half step back due to aging (Collaros, Nichols, Neufeld, Demski). My point is that we need some new blood that elevates our talent level, and need to avoid signings like Logan, J. Jones, and Mitchell. Walters did not exactly distinguish himself in free agency last year. He needs to do better this year, that's where he will truly earn his money.
