Saskatchewan Roughriders – Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field

The province, City of Regina and the Roughriders have commissioned a number of feasibility studies regarding building a replacement stadium in Regina. Options for a domed and retractable roof stadium have been proposed with costs ranging up to $431 million. The last study concluded that such a stadium could attract enough events to break even on an operational basis each year. The provincial government was expected to announce whether a new stadium project would go ahead by June, 2010 but waited on a response from the federal government. The city and province ultimately gave up on federal funding March 1, 2011 after no indication of a forthcoming contribution was made. The city unveiled a plan B on April 19th, 2011 to redevelop the former rail yards and Mosaic Stadium site.

By spring 2012, the plan had changed, with an open air stadium proposed near the location of the existing stadium. The stadium cost of $280 million is to be totally funded by the city, province and Roughriders. The city is waiting on a reply from the province on their funding portion, and have requested they decide by end of May 2012.

Meanwhile, the 'Riders have announced an upgrade to Mosaic Stadium for the 2012 season to prepare for the temporary seating expansion for the 2013 Grey Cup. Additional corporate boxes, seats and facilities will be left as a legacy until the new stadium is built and then they will be distributed throughout the province.
