Thanks!

Great idea! Biking to IG Field is hands down my favourite way to get to Bomber games... and I am definitely not an intrepid cyclist, most of my cycling is just around the neighbourhood for fun. You get in and out of the stadium so fast.
In terms of the best route from downtown I will leave that to the others, although the transitway's AT route will let you avoid heavy Pembina game traffic.
As for the bike valet, I have never seen it fill up. They have an immense capacity for bikes and it has been enlarged as the popularity of this method grows. I have seen some people just locking bikes up to fences and posts around the stadium, I'm assuming to allow them to get in and out quickly (you have to wait in a short line after the game to get your bike). But that's optional, you certainly don't have to do it that way.
