Part of my CFL Series
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are a Canadian football team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They are currently members of the East Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL), although due to their being in the approximate middle ofCanada they have flipped back and forth between the West Division when needed to balance out the number of teams per division. They play their home games at Canad Inns Stadium, and plan to move to a new stadium, Investors Group Field, in June 2013.
The Blue Bombers were founded in 1930. Since that time they have won the league's Grey Cup championship ten times, most recently in 1990. With 10 wins they have the third highest win total in the Grey Cup among active and defunct CFL teams. Though they are currently the team with the longest Grey Cup drought, no other franchise has as many Grey Cup appearances as the Blue Bombers current 24. The Blue Bombers were also the first team not located in Central Canada to win a championship. The Blue Bombers have won 19 Western Division Championships and seven Eastern Division Championships.
