getting around

downtown is walkable

Downtown Winnipeg is highly walkable, especially around key Grey Cup Festival venues. The University of Winnipeg campus, Axworthy Health & RecPlex, and the RBC Convention Centre are all within a 10–15 minute walk of each other, connected by well-maintained sidewalks and pedestrian-friendly streets.

This compact layout makes it easy for visitors to navigate between fan zones, concerts, and family-friendly events without needing a vehicle. During Grey Cup Week, the area is especially vibrant and accessible, with shuttles and signage enhancing the walkable experience.

Winnipeg Transit

Winnipeg Transit offers convenient and efficient service, particularly during Grey Cup Sunday. The city's transit network includes the BLUE rapid transit line, which connects downtown Winnipeg to the University of Manitoba area, where Princess Auto Stadium is located. On game day, Winnipeg Transit enhances its services by adding extra buses on key routes such as 60 Pembina, 75 Crosstown East, 78 Crosstown West, and 160 University of Manitoba, ensuring fans can reach the stadium with ease.
