Saskatchewan Roughriders – Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field / New Mosaic Stadium

In May, 2014 the partners in the Regina stadium project released the stadium design and details as well as the naming rights for the 33,000 seat open-air, roof-ready stadium. The city announced the preferred builder for the stadium project in March 2014. The stadium is scheduled to be complete in 2016 and host its first football game in 2017.

The province, City of Regina and the Roughriders commissioned a number of feasibility studies regarding building a replacement stadium in Regina. Options for a domed and retractable roof stadium were 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, province and team have entered into an agreement on the funding and the project has passed all votes at city council to go forward and be complete by the 2017 season.

The ’Riders 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 after which they will be distributed throughout the province. The stadium was temporarily upgraded to 44,910 seats for the Grey Cup, with the seating in place for the last half of the 2013 season for the team to use for its final regular season games.
