Stadium broken into, Blue's plane vandalized
By SUN MEDIA
Talk about being kicked while you're down.
Insult was added to injury following the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' season-ending loss to the visiting Hamilton Tiger-Cats when someone broke into Canad Inns Stadium early Wednesday.
The incident was reported just before 4 a.m.
A small plane, which belongs to the CFL club and is dear to diehard Bombers fans, was vandalized.
Known as the "touchdown plane", it rips through the end zone every time a Bombers player scores a touchdown at the Maroons Road stadium.
Damage is estimated at $5,000, police said.
No arrests
No one has been arrested, police said. The investigation continues.
No one from the Winnipeg Football Club returned a call yesterday seeking comment.
Last Sunday's home loss eliminated the Bombers from playoff contention.
