Roughriders @sskroughriders 54m REDBLACKS to host Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium on June 14th, 2014 #Riders #CFL http://www.riderville.com/article/redblacks-to-host-roughriders-at-mosaic-stadium … Honestly, I'm surprised the Riders are ever required by the league to play on the road.

Jimmy Pop Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Considering how well the TiCats were treated at the GC, I'd expect nothing but the best from the lovely village of Regina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 So I suppose with the Redblacks figuring out where their pre season game will be played, the next question has to be, where will Hamilton play ? The dome ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hank will be much loved in his first home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Gonna be some anxious moments out east come July. At least we had the old stadium to use in 2012. Jimmy Pop and johnzo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskbluefan Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Gonna be some anxious moments out east come July. At least we had the old stadium to use in 2012. no kidding. Assuming it all works out I actually like the idea of the first game being a real game rather than a preseason tilt. But to say this far out the stadium won't be ready June 14th but will be ready two or three weeks later is not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Who gets the revenue for the game, Ottawa or Saskatchewan? The game will be a sellout. Unless it's not part of the Riders home games which I can't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's not part of the Riders home games which I can't see. I could see Ottawa getting a decent chunk of the gate. Not sure how much though. It shouldn't some as a surprise that Ottawa would be playing their exhibition game on the road. They already made it clear to the league that they would like their first few games on the road to allow the completion of the stadium. Mid-July at earliest. Hamilton's stadium won't be ready until the fall at best. Book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hamilton is way behind schedule. Checked on it today. They haven't even got all the steel in on the upper deck on one deck. I can see the bleachers going back into Guelph again. Glad we're past that nightmare. At least we had Canad Inns Stadium as a fall back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's not part of the Riders home games which I can't see. It's not part of the Riders season ticket package. We've paid for our tickets before this was ever announced. I can't see it selling out. I would think they may get 25k fans and that's if it's priced decently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season ticket packages went on sale in November. No one had any idea that Ottawa would need a home for their preseason game then. It really wasn't possible for the Riders to market this into their package unless the Red Blacks and league had the foresight to come to them 5 months ago.

It's totally understandable, in what is an unusual situation, to go Sask. with their fan base to garner the optimum turnout. It does answer the question I had where they would play an exhibition home game, but I didn't figure they would go out of province. I was thinking more along the lines of s CIS Ontario based team's home field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
