Investors Group Field receives mostly-strong reviews on debut, unlike Bombers’ play

Judging by reactions on Twitter, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' fancy new stadium was well-received in its first game Wednesday night. However, the Bombers' own play went over much less successfully with fans, as they were pummeled 24-6 by the Toronto Argonauts. While it's just the preseason and the score isn't particularly relevant, there were a lot of troubling signs for fans of the Blue and Gold, including starting quarterback Buck Pierce going 0-for-5 with an interception (but amazingly, not being injured!) and Casey Creehan's Winnipeg defence looking a lot like his Hamilton defence.
