As part of hosting the 101st Grey Cup Championship Game and with the recent expansion of Mosaic Stadium, the Roughriders will be taking steps to further enhance safety, security and enjoyment for our fans on Game Day. Some of these initiatives are outlined below.
• The Riders have recently added a head of security. Rod Buckingham will lead all game day security functions, while collaborating with Regina Police Services/Regina EMS/and our contracted Security company. Mr. Buckingham will also be leading the 101st Grey Cup Festival and Championship Game security committee.
• Upon entering the stadium, fans will see increased security and more frequent bag checks. As a reminder, the only beverages allowed to be brought into Mosaic Stadium are unopened bottles of water.
• The Mosaic Stadium MaxTron will be playing videos featuring players and kids who will remind fans to show their pride, but respect other fans. Fans will be encouraged to text the Rider security line 306-536-5312 to report inappropriate behavior.
• Mosaic Stadium concession staff is undergoing service training that will help them identify fans who might be under the influence and ensure that stadium policies around alcohol consumption are adhered to.
• The Saskatchewan Roughriders have collaborated with the Regina Police and supported a plan for safer traffic movement and an emergency access route entering and exiting Mosaic Stadium.
• Rider Game Day staff have recently gone through Fan Experience training to further enhance what is already widely recognized as one of the best sports atmosphere’s in Canada.
• Weather permitting; there will be new interactive inflatables for kids in our enhanced pre-game Fan Festival area opposite Mosaic Stadium.
