The Stampeders are looking to remain unbeaten at Winnipeg’s new stadium as Calgary returns to action after a bye to face the Blue Bombers.

The Stamps are 4-0 at Investors Group Field since the facility opened in 2013 including wins by scores of 36-8 and 25-23 last season.

Including games at old Canad Inns Stadium, the Stamps have won seven straight in Manitoba and overall are 14-1 against the Bombers since Week 2 of the 2009 season including a 36-22 victory on July 1 at McMahon Stadium.

Calgary is 1-1-1 so far in 2016 including a 26-26 draw in Ottawa in their most recent contest. Winnipeg is 1-3 after dropping a 20-16 decision to Edmonton on home field in Week 4.

The Stamps haven’t lost following a bye since the 2005 season as Calgary has rattled off 13 straight wins after a week off.

Bo Levi Mitchell has four 300-yard games and 12 touchdown passes in seven career starts against the Blue Bombers.
