Princess Auto Stadium

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Princess Auto Stadium concert venue in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Why it matters

Princess Auto Stadium opened in 2013 on the University of Manitoba campus and gave Winnipeg a modern outdoor home for football and large concerts. The canopy roof protects much of the seating while leaving the field open, which creates a distinct stadium feel without a full dome.

Getting there

Princess Auto Stadium is in south Winnipeg and is not a downtown walk. Use event-specific Winnipeg Transit service when offered or drive with prepaid parking. Pembina Highway traffic can add substantial time near doors, so leave earlier than the distance suggests.

Bag policy

Princess Auto Stadium's published event details and guest-services page are the final authority for bags. Concert rules can differ from sports or festival setups, so verify the current size limit and prohibited-items list before packing.

Local tips

The south Winnipeg location makes transit planning more important than at the downtown arena. Use event-specific bus service or prepaid parking and allow time for Pembina Highway traffic. Mosquitoes, wind and sudden temperature drops are all legitimate outdoor-show considerations here.
