WINNIPEG, MB., April 15, 2026 – The Winnipeg Football Club today released its 2025 Annual Report, announcing an operating profit of $12.1 million and an $8.4 million investment in capital improvements at Princess Auto Stadium.
"We are extremely proud of our financial results for 2025, strengthened by a sold-out season that averaged more than 33,000 fans per game," said President & CEO Wade Miller. "These results are a testament to the continued support of our season ticket members, corporate partners, and fans. They are the reason this Club remains strong, on and off the field."
In 2021, the Club entered into an agreement with the Government of Manitoba and Triple B Stadium Inc. establishing a Capital Fund dedicated to long-term stadium maintenance and improvements. In 2025, the Club allocated $11.9 million to the Capital Fund and $1 million to its Operating Reserve, for total allocations of $12.9 million, equaling the Club's overall profit for the year.
Total operating revenue in 2025 reached $82.8 million, an increase of $28.1 million over the prior year, driven by the Club's hosting of the 112th Grey Cup and 2025 Grey Cup Festival. Operating expenses rose to $70.7 million, up from $47.7 million in 2024, an increase of $23.0 million, also attributable to hosting the Grey Cup.
Those strong results allowed the Club to move forward with significant upgrades. In 2025, $8.4 million was invested in stadium projects including a new players' lounge, HVAC remediation, additional contactless security screening devices, and concessions equipment to improve capacity and speed of service.
Looking ahead, the Club has just completed installation of two new high-resolution video boards at Princess Auto Stadium. "These new boards elevate the game-day atmosphere and enhance how our fans experience football at Princess Auto Stadium," said Miller. "The image quality is significantly better, and they integrate seamlessly with the ribbon boards we added last season. We are committed to continuing to invest in our stadium and improving the fan experience every year." Fans can also look forward to a redesign of the Rum Hut, loge seat replacement, a new food and beverage point-of-sale system, and a new BBQ stand serving smash burgers and other favourites.
"The Winnipeg Football Club has a strong history of financial stability," said Miller. "We are the financial stewards of Princess Auto Stadium, committed to the ongoing investment in capital maintenance and improvements to ensure it remains the best stadium in the CFL and delivers the best fan experience in the country."
As a non-profit they are in a good position to to get in front of the financial downturn and reduce ticket and concession prices.

Last post by JockitchwithRich - April 15, 2026, 02:56:30 PMIt was a loss but in minimal fault on .Com, who I felt was
extra special with many of his saves
Heinola got to play, did well, and Rosen fired in a nice goal
Certainly is glaring, per usual, how we need a 2nd line Center

Last post by Blue In BC - April 15, 2026, 01:39:58 PMThere is another mock draft out today. Each one bears no resemblance to the previous one. lol
I have no idea who gets picked by the Bombers. Always enjoy watching the 1st couple of rounds to see how it works out.

Last post by Blue In BC - April 15, 2026, 01:38:19 PMQuote from: dd on April 14, 2026, 10:17:10 PMWhite, Wilson and Demski are a pretty solid top 3 recieving corps, and add Nield and Clercius, we got a decent receiving corps, far better than last years group.
White is greater than Wheatfall. Nield should be an improvement over Sterns and creates that ratio advantage. So the group looks to have more upside.
That may free up some space for the 3rd stating Canadian and increase productivity overall. Nothing says we won't see further development from Clercius, Cobb and Corcoran.

Last post by Tecno - April 15, 2026, 06:36:00 AMDesjar was one of the best drafts in the last decade. We another score like that, better still with another OL. Too bad we couldn't keep him. We probably win that '22 cup (at minimum) if he stayed.
(Why isn't Desjar's '22 season shown in the cfl.ca player page? Did he try the NFL or have a full-IR season?? Memory is failing me...)

Last post by Tecno - April 15, 2026, 06:29:08 AMQuote from: Blue In BC on April 14, 2026, 03:19:07 PMBreaking News: February 1, 2030. Taylor Elgersma ended his years long NFL sojourn by signing his rookie deal with the Blue Bombers yesterday. Now, the 27 year old has 3 years to look forward to playing for the CFL minimum.
Ya, cute & funny. But the end is what explains his behavior and actually makes all that seemingly-nonsense before it suddenly logical.
If he comes up now, he really does have 2 (probably 3) seasons of playing for CFL QB ELC. No one gets excited at that prospect.
