CFL Roughriders Reveal Detailed Plans For Stadium In Regina

The CFL Saskatchewan Roughriders today officially released design details and renderings for Mosaic Stadium, their new facility opening in '17. The project architects include HKS, the same company designing the Vikings’ new stadium. Located in Regina, the stadium’s cost is US$255M. The facility will have a standard capacity of 33,000 and can be expanded to 40,000 for Grey Cup and other special events. The open-air stadium has a translucent roof canopy covering most seats. The south end zone is open, providing a connection between the building and the city. Other features include a general admission lounge accessible to all ticketholders. Almost 70% of the total seats are in the lower bowl.

Construction starts next month and the first Roughriders game is expected to be played in June '17. It is the first CFL project for HKS. The firm’s Greg Whittemore is project manager, Brad Baker senior designer and Mark Williams is principal-in-charge. PCL Construction Management is the general contractor. The Mosaic Company, which has had entitlement to the Roughriders’ venue since '06, also announced an extension of the naming-rights deal for another 20 years.
