Winnipeg comes into Friday night’s game as the hottest team in the league having won four in a row. They have the best defense in the league and everything is going their way. CFL football has never been more popular than it is right now in Winnipeg as the team is having a new stadium built on the University of Manitoba campus. Friday’s game against Hamilton is sold out and their game in two weeks at home against Saskatchewan is also a sell out. The Bombers are on pace to break their season attendance record of 252,802, which was set in 2001. It is great news for a franchise that has not won the Grey Cup since 1990.
