The Winnipeg Sea Bears are gearing up for a major return to the court, announcing that the upper bowl at Canada Life Centre will be open for their 2025 home opener on May 16.
The decision to expand seating comes as the Canadian Elite Basketball League team anticipates another packed stadium, building on last year’s strong fan turnout.
“Opening the upper deck is a true testament to how this city has embraced the Sea Bears,” said team president Jason Smith.
“The energy in the building last year was unmatched, and we can’t wait to build on that as we tip off an exciting new season. With the addition of Championship Weekend in August, this is going to be a special year, and we’re so proud to share it with our fans and our community.”
Adding to the excitement, Juno Award-winning hip-hop artist Maestro Fresh Wes will headline the halftime show.
The evening will also feature a tribute to the late Sea Bears captain Chad Posthumus, along with a commemorative giveaway for fans in attendance.
