CFL Blue Bombers increases profit to $5.7M in 2023
Compared to an average of 28,642 spectators per game in 2022, 30,449 supporters attended each game in 2023. Additionally, the Bombers sold $15.1 million worth of tickets, which made up “nearly 30 per cent of the club’s total revenue.” Operating costs were “just shy” of $45 million, up about $4.5 million from the prior year. The city’s professional soccer team, Valour FC of the Canadian Premier League, was identified by Hamilton as the “sore spot” in the report, with an ultimate cost to the Bombers of $1.25 million. Valour has “finished in the red” for the third consecutive season (WINNIPEG FREE PRESS, 4/11).
