Winnipeg Blue Bombers post $5.1 million operating profit from 2017 season
WINNIPEG — The 2017 season was a good for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, on and off the field.
Last season, the Bombers finished tied for second with Edmonton last year in the ultra-competitive West Division with a 12-6 mark before dropping a 39-32 semifinal decision to the Eskimos. But the club’s improved play on the field helped the franchise post a $5.1 million operating profit on the year, an increase of $2.3 million from 2016.
“We are pleased with these very strong 2017 financial results,” president Wade Miller said in a statement. “These results are a testament to the strong support from our fans, season ticket members, and corporate partners.
“Our team should be proud of our success in 2017.”
