In the next two or three years, the Province of Manitoba and the City of Winnipeg plan to submit a bid to the CFL to host the Grey Cup, and Bomber Nation is excited about it.
We so richly merit that. While doing some Wednesday shopping at the Bomber Store, Kristina Cruz suggested, “We should have the Grey Cup here.
“That’s amazing, I’m very happy, especially after winning two straight.”
Up to $5 is being offered by the province.
While the city is anticipated to lose $1. 5 million on the bid, the Canadian Football League will receive $5 million.
Dan Motheral, a devoted Bomber fan who plans to travel from west of Brandon for the festivities, said, “I think it’s wonderful, I believe it will be a lot of revenue to the city and province and coming from out of town it’s something that we would look forward to.”
According to the government, hosting the Grey Cup would boost the local economy by $90 million and by roughly $8.
provincial tax income of $2 million.
According to the data, “This is huge money,” said Chuck Davidson, president and CEO of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, to Global News.
“We’ve seen that close to $90 million in investment returns to Winnipeg and Manitoba through hotel stays, restaurant visits, and other outings and visits to our community. That’s fantastic.
According to Davidson, the economic effects extend beyond the weeklong celebrations.
“And then there are things that you don’t think about, like the impact on Winnipeg and Manitoba’s exposure. For a week, it puts us in the public eye, he remarked. “People come and they visit, people come to see things in our community, and we always know when that happens you get repeat visitors as well. ”
The chance is simply fantastic for Winnipeg and Manitoba.
The potential of hosting the Grey Cup in Winnipeg in 2024 or 2025 has Bomber supporters excited.
