The Calgary Stampeders make their final scheduled visit to Winnipeg’s Canad Inns Stadium in Week 16 Canadian Football League action. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. MDT.
Fans in Calgary can catch all the action at the official Road Game Tweet-up at Shark Club Deerfoot Meadows, which will show the game on their 17-foot TV wall. Players and members of the Outriders will be in attendance.
The Stampeders (8-6) are trying to strengthen their playoff position in the very competitive West Division while the Blue Bombers (4-10) are fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive in the East.
The Stamps are coming off a 27-22 loss to the BC Lions at Vancouver’s BC Place while the Blue Bombers claimed a 27-22 victory in Montreal on Thanksgiving Monday.
The Stamps faced the Bombers in Week 12 at McMahon Stadium, with Calgary claiming a 44-3 victory. This is scheduled to be the Red and White’s last visit to Winnipeg/Canad Inns Stadium as the Bombers are scheduled to move into a new facility in 2013. Calgary is 29-50 all time at the facility with a significant number of the losses coming in the 1970s and 1980s. Since 1993, Calgary is 11-8 in Winnipeg.
Last week, Nik Lewis surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in receiving for the season. It was the ninth time in his nine-year career Lewis has reached 1,000 yards. Only ex-Stamp Terry Vaughn (11) and Milt Stegall (10) have more 1,000-yard seasons and only Vaughn (11) has more consecutive seasons with 1,000 receiving yards
