Winnipeg Blue Bombers celebrate historic sell-out season

WINNIPEG, MB., October 23, 2025 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have achieved a historic milestone, selling out every regular season home game in 2025 for the first time in team history. With the October 25 game now officially sold out, the club has recorded 14 consecutive sellouts dating back to August 2024, welcoming an average of 32,343 fans per game to Princess Auto Stadium.

"This is about our fans, the most passionate and loyal in the league: The CFL's Loudest Fans have made history with us," said Wade Miller, President & CEO of the Winnipeg Football Club. "From season ticket members to families attending their first game, you've made Princess Auto Stadium the place to be. We can't thank you enough. Thank you as well to our players, coaches, staff, fan ambassadors, and game day crew for creating an unmatched fan experience."

This achievement underscores the unmatched passion and loyalty of Blue Bombers fans who have helped create one of the most electric and celebrated game-day environments in Canadian sports.

As the Blue Bombers head into the playoffs, excitement continues to build toward the 112th Grey Cup championship game, taking place November 16 at Princess Auto Stadium. Season ticket renewals for the 2026 season are now underway, with fans encouraged to secure their seats early as demand remains at record levels.

If we're not going to win on the field we're going to win off it!

Has any other CFL team ever done this?  How long ago?

If may not be as easy next year.  A lot of brand new STH who are fairweather bandwagon-hoppers will not renew in '26 after our pretty bad home win record.  It used to be a home WPG game was a 95% guaranteed win.

My 2025 STH seat-mates are noobs, I'll ask them if they are renewing.  They haven't even been showing up to the last 2-3 games.

Been there done that. Riders had a full season sell out in 2008, carrying over games from the 2007 season to sell out 17 consecutive games.

The team is 6-2 at home this year still.

not even......

The Roughriders have recorded the sellouts with two different configurations at Mosaic Stadium. The Riders' home base was expanded to 30,945 seats from 28,800 in time for the Aug. 31 Labour Day Classic against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

That and the fact that they were 12-6 both seasons and won a championship in the first campaign.

It's official. Riders suck.

And for some reason Rider fans are upset and mad that these sell outs are happening. By saying there's lots of empty seats, and they're giving tickets away .. blah blah blah. Like it's some kind of conspiracy.
I don't understand. I'd be happy to see sellouts throughout the league. I certainly don't get upset at Regina selling out. It's just so weird.

I heard a Rider podcaster brag the other day that just because many Riderfans no longer go to the stadium doesn't mean they're not the best fans in the league because they still watch the games on TV.

the hate for the riders is rea around here these days. I was just answering a question, and the answer just happens to be the riders, and things go off the rails. No one was taking anything away from the Bombers organizations accomplishment. Makes me wonder if Tecno was just setting everyone up for this derailment. LOL

It's real all days. That's always been the case here.

It's Saskatchewan! That is the way they think!  Where's Troy Westwood when we need him?
