total, 87 players will make up training camp this Saturday on the U of M's Fort Garry campus (east field), with players going through testing on Thursday. The Bisons will be in familiar surroundings this season as they remain at University Stadium for one more year. With the delays at Investors Group Field , the Winnipeg Blue Bombers had offered Canad Inns Stadium to the Herd, but logistics-wise, it was easier for the team to remain on campus. Manitoba opens the regular season on the road at UBC on September 1 before returning to Winnipeg for their home opener on September 8 when they host Saskatchewan.
