Rider Insider, Oct. 25/2015
A strange feeling came over me while climbing into my vehicle in the Mosaic Stadium parking lot following Saturday night’s 35-24 Saskatchewan Roughriders loss to the Edmonton Eskimos.
Just beyond the glare of the stadium lights from our old stadium sat the jaw-dropping gorgeous New Mosaic Stadium whose construction, as of last Saturday, is 60% complete. It’s due to open in August of 2016 and is pegged to be the finest jewel among open-air stadiums in North America.
Just the sight of that new facility brings enormous hope for the fortunes of this Roughriders franchise and I had to sit there for a minute and imagine the possibilities.
Then, reality set in, and you realize the bright days ahead are an enormous contrast to what we have now.
