About Mosaic Stadium

Mosaic Stadium sits in the REAL District of Regina, Saskatchewan — a 33,350-seat venue where the Saskatchewan Roughriders play CFL football, where the smallest major-league market in North America outside Green Bay sells out with a passion known as Rider Pride, and where a single orange seat among the sea of green stands as a permanent memorial to Indigenous children who never came home.

The CA$278 million stadium, designed by HKS and B+H Architects and built by PCL Construction, opened on July 1, 2017, replacing Taylor Field — where the Roughriders had played for 106 years. The lower bowl sits 10 metres below ground level to shield fans from Saskatchewan’s brutal prairie winds, and a partial PTFE canopy covers the grandstand while leaving the south end zone open to the sky. The stadium was engineered to support a full roof in the future.

The Roughriders are community-owned — not privately held — and their fans are legendary across Canada. Regina’s metro population of roughly 263,500 makes it the smallest CFL market and the second-smallest professional sports market in North America, yet the stadium routinely sells out. Roughriders fans travel in such numbers that opposing stadiums across the country turn green on game days.

The stadium’s address tells its own story. In November 2019, 10th Avenue was renamed George Reed Way, and the address was changed to 1734 — with “34” honouring the retired jersey number of the greatest Roughrider of all time.

History of Mosaic Stadium

Mosaic Stadium was built to replace Taylor Field — the Roughriders’ home for 106 years. The CA$278 million project, designed by HKS in joint venture with B+H Architects and built by PCL Construction, broke ground on June 16, 2014. The Mosaic Company carried over its naming rights from the old stadium under a 20-year deal.

Soft Opening (October 1, 2016): The first event was a U Sports game between the Regina Rams and Saskatchewan Huskies, with only the lower bowl open and attendance capped at 16,500.

Official Opening (July 1, 2017): The Roughriders played their first CFL regular-season game in the new stadium on Canada Day — a fitting launch for a community-owned franchise in the heart of the prairies.

2019 NHL Heritage Classic (October 26, 2019): The Winnipeg Jets defeated the Calgary Flames 2-1 in overtime before 33,518 fans — the first NHL regular-season outdoor game held in a neutral city without an NHL franchise, and the first NHL game in Saskatchewan since 1994.

109th Grey Cup (November 20, 2022): The Toronto Argonauts defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the first Grey Cup at the new stadium, bringing the CFL’s championship game back to Regina for the first time since 2013.

Seat of Truth (September 29, 2022): An orange seat was permanently installed among the green — never to be sold or occupied — honouring Indigenous children taken to residential schools who never returned home. The unveiling drew over 12,000 people.

From Taylor Field’s 106 years to the Seat of Truth to Rider Pride filling every corner of the prairies, Mosaic Stadium is where Saskatchewan football lives — a community-owned venue in the smallest market in the league, where the fans are the owners and the stadium address is a tribute to its greatest player.
