WINNIPEG — The promoter of an NFL exhibition game in Winnipeg later this month has lowered the price of some lower-bowl tickets after finalizing a sponsorship deal.

On Ice Entertainment Ltd., says it will sell more than 5,000 tickets in the end zones for $75 plus fees and other taxes for a game between the Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers on Aug. 22.

The promoter is calling the seats the ‘Miller Lite End Zones’ after reaching a deal with Molson Coors.

Thousands of seats at IG Field remain available for the game, according to the Ticketmaster map.

On Ice Entertainment set prices for the game between $75 and $340 when it was announced in June.
