GAME DAY!

The city is on red alert this morning, as it's GAME DAY in Regina. The Saskatchewan Roughriders host the Montreal Alouettes today at 1:00pm at Mosaic Stadium in a battle of the CFL's only unbeaten teams.

I was out and about early this morning (to Starbucks and Walmart), and Rider Pride was evident everywhere as people are adorned in Green & White.

See you at the game!

According to sources we could find out this week if the
Brad Wall government recommends to build a domed stadium in Regina.

The leader-post is reporting that the province will unveil
the findings of a 70-thousand dollar government
commissioned concept review study on Monday.

The report will show the government has examined three
options... a dome stadium, a new outdoor stadium, or
refurbishing the current Mosaic Stadium.

Enterprise Minister Ken Cheveldayoff has already said any plans for a new facility would involve one or two partners and would not drive the province into debt.

The next step will be a feasibility study.

If anyone is going to make this new stadium happen, it will be Chevy. He's had season tickets for the past twenty years and is a huge rider fan through and through. I know him from working on his election campaign two years ago.

BTW, horrible game yesterday. Absolutely pathetic performance by the boys.

Gov't money should not be used for sports stadiums. Chevy, Dodge, or Ford cannot print money and can only harm the provinces' credit rating by putting up money for a stadium. We are a small market in a small town with a small stadium. The Riders are doing well enough that they can help Regina to renovate and upgrade Mosaic stadium. To do anything else is foolhardy at best. One or two losing records and the Riders will be struggling to attract anymore than 25000 fans.
