Here it Is!!!




Today, the Saskatchewan Roughriders joined the City of Regina and the Province of Saskatchewan to unveil, the final design of the future home of the Roughriders, which will carry the name Mosaic Stadium.  The Riders announced today that their current partnership with The Mosaic Company will be renewed in a 20-year stadium naming rights agreement between the two organizations.


Teaming up with Mosaic to secure the first naming rights partnership of Mosaic Stadium in 2006 was a defining time for the Riders, and for the community.  With the new Mosaic Stadium, and renewed naming partnership, the two organizations will come together in support of the Regina Revitalization Initiative, ushering in a new and exciting era for the Roughriders, the Province, City of Regina and all of Rider Nation. 


The new Mosaic Stadium will be a state of the art 33,000 seat facility that can be expanded to accommodate 40,000 fans for special events such as the Grey Cup Championship Game.  The stadium will deliver an incredible game day experience with wider individual seats, a sunken bowl to ease spectator access, expansive concourses, concession and hospitality offerings as well as premium options that include 38 suites for corporate partners.  Located three blocks west of the current Mosaic Stadium, this iconic new stadium will stand out as one of the premier facilities of its kind in Canada and will become a centerpiece for the province.    


“We could not be happier with this announcement and the long term extension of what has been a terrific relationship between the Roughriders and Mosaic, said Jim Hopson, President and CEO of the Roughriders Football Club.  “Beyond our shared love for this game and the league, is a shared commitment to the community.   This relationship has contributed to some great achievements for Riders and this new agreement will set the stage for what we expect will be many years of success, both on and off the field.”  


“Strong partnerships champion successful organizations and help build healthy and vibrant communities,” said Walt Precourt, Mosaic’s Senior Vice President of Potash. “Our sponsorship of Mosaic Stadium, and relationship with the Roughriders, represents the foundation for our continued investments in this province. Together, we’re proud to recognize our community’s rich past and are excited about a new and prosperous future.”


New Mosaic Stadium will host its first Rider game in June of 2017. 


The Riders also announced a new stadium website,

Sure glad I don't live in Regina and have city tax dollar pay for this POS.

Agree with the others that it should of been at the rail yard and should be a dome.

I feel sorry for anyone that is trying to go to the Cooperator Centre on games days. It might be closer to park at the Southland mall and walk.

And good luck leaving after a game parking and traffic will be insane.

We get an outstanding facility and all I hear is negatives. It really is a culture of our society isn't it.

I have two questions. With only 33 K seats, how many are between the goal lines. It appears that the current stadium has more seats between the goal lines than the new stadium ? Also, I thought that this stadium was to be roof ready ? With all of the open spaces, can someone please explain that too me ?

How much is Mosaic paying to keep rights? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to bring back those who were laid off with that money? Its a question worth answering don't you think?

Shameless and wasteful, 9 games per year by Rrs. This stadium project should have been a year round multipurpose facility. And why are the Rrs the beneficiary of the dollars generated through naming rights?

Those engineers did a hell of a job of hiding the retractable roof, you can't even see it.
