Osborne Stadium
The stadium was also home to local high school football, soccer, baseball and softball games.The opening ceremony included music by the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry marching band from CFB Shilo; and local dignitaries, Ralph Webb the Mayor of Winnipeg, John Bracken the Premier of Manitoba, and members of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba.[1] The stadium was located on the west side of Osborne Street North opposite of the Manitoba Legislative Building, and hosted games for Canadian football, high school football, soccer, baseball, and softball.[2] Local sports executive Jimmy Dunn presided over both the Greater Winnipeg Senior Girls' Softball League and the Greater Winnipeg Senior Baseball League played at the stadium, and was a regular behind the microphone entertaining spectators during baseball games.[5] The 1950 Red River flood inundated the stadium which postponed the beginning of that year's baseball season.
