One Step Closer

The days of watching Saskatchewan Roughriders football at a new facility appear to be inching closer to reality. From the Leader-Post...

REGINA — The three levels of government and the Saskatchewan Roughriders are investing up to $1 million to look at the feasibility of a domed stadium.
Representatives from the provincial, federal and municipal governments and the Riders made the announcement Monday morning. It is to look at the feasibility of an all-season, multipurpose entertainment facility that would be located in downtown Regina.
"Before we can make any decisions, we need more information and that is what we intend to get with the experts we have involved," said Enterprise Minister Ken Cheveldayoff.
At the morning media conference, the earlier concept review was released, which estimated that a new domed stadium would cost $350 million, not including the cost of purchasing land.
The study is to be completed in January 2010 and submitted to the partners for review and a decision.
