GET READY TO PLAY CHALK TALK 27 BLUE BOMBER FOOTBALL FACILITIES CROWN JEWEL OF CFL Not many Blue Bomber fans will get a close-up look at the football operations side of things when they visit Investors Group Field, but the state-of-the-art training, rehabilitation and medical facilities will all play a huge role in the team's success for years to come.

"There really is no comparison in terms of what our organization has to work with now," Mack said.
