Building the better hangar

The Blue prints are out, the pilings are getting pounded in and there's progress in Bomberland as the prep work for the Bombers new stadium on the campus of the University of Manitoba begins to take shape.

The much discussed, frequently moved new home for the Bombers at times seemed like a stadium too far, but with Winnipeg looking forward to spring (though there may yet be a few more months of winter to go) the movement on the stadium project is in motion.

With the steel pilings in place Manitobans and Bomber fans can finally begin to see some tangible proof that the era of Canad Inn Stadium may finally be at hand. And for proof that it's mot a mirage, the bombers have provided a webcam link to track the progress of construction.

Some of the reviews of the latest developments can be found below.
