Bombers host last game at old stadium

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers play their final regular season football game Friday night at Canad Inns Stadium.

The contest against the Toronto Argonauts marks the final regular season game in the old ball park before the Bombers move to a new facility in 2012. The team will also host a post-season playoff game.

It will be the seventh consecutive sellout game for the Bombers this season as the club moves closer to breaking all-time attendance records. The Bombers are currently first in the CFL East with a 10-6 record.

Super fans Irv and Sandy Koch will be in their usual seats along with a drum, bell, siren and bubble machine.

Irv has cheered and booed his way through countless games since the stadium opened 58 years ago.

For Koch and the other 30,000 fans, Friday night's game will be emotional and filled with memories of great football moments gone by.

Bomber legend Milt Stegall will run out on the field one last time. Stegall is one of a number of former players and staff who have been brought in to say goodbye to the old ball park.

"There areso many great memories I have of playing in that stadium it's going to be a bittersweet thing," said Stegall.

"When I used to run out into the field and there's be 30,000 screaming fans in the stands and thousands of people would have my jersey on, you know I always tell people I don't drink and I don't do drugs but that's a high right there."
