Saskatchewan Roughriders News Release


Sunday July 12th, The Green Prix

Buckle up, Rider Nation! This Sunday, the Roughriders are bringing the iconic toy brand Hot Wheels to Mosaic Stadium to celebrate Saskatchewan football, and car culture. Settle in as the Saskatchewan Roughriders go wheel-to-wheel with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with kickoff set for 5 p.m. This game promises to be a car lovers dream!

Arrive early and rev your engines for the Riderville Show N' Shine! The show kicks off at 2 p.m., featuring an incredible lineup of vintage, classic and exotic vehicles from across the province. Explore the displays throughout the park area and along the east side of Mosaic Stadium between Gates 3 and 4. With up to 70 stunning cars expected, it's the perfect opportunity for fans of all ages to observe some truly remarkable rides before kickoff.

It's not quite the dog days of summer yet, but we're releasing the hounds! At halftime, get ready as a pack of speedy corgis takes over the field for a fun-filled race to the finish. Cheer on your favourite four-legged competitor and see which pup comes out on top! Then join us at Guest Services near Young's Equipment Gate 1 to meet your furry halftime heroes.

With warm temperatures expected on Sunday, fans are encouraged to stay hydrated throughout the game. Fans are welcome to bring one empty or sealed reusable water bottle up to 1L in size. Complimentary water bottle filling stations are available throughout Mosaic Stadium at all water fountains, including the east concourse, upper east 500 level, upper west 500 level, southwest concourse, two locations on the south concourse, and inside the Sportscage Lounge. All water fountains throughout the stadium are equipped with water bottle filling stations and additional water dispensers have been brought in for this game to keep fans hydrated.

Don't get caught in the slow lane! Fans travelling from the south are encouraged to leave early due to construction on Lewvan Drive. Plan ahead and arrive in plenty of time to enjoy all the pre-game festivities before kickoff.

Ready, set, go! After exploring the Riderville Show N' Shine featuring classic, vintage and exotic vehicles, make a pit stop at Security Building Supplies Riderland Park for face painting, balloon twisters, and player autographs. Shift into high gear with a live performance from Route 99, bringing a high-energy mix of country favourites and crowd-pleasing hits to fuel the game day atmosphere. Riderland Park opens three hours before kickoff.

Be in your seats early for an action-packed pre-game on-field experience! The festivities include a fast-paced relay race as teams go head-to-head in a thrilling sprint to the finish, and Queen City's king of metal Tim Roth performing the national anthem.

After the checkered flag, fans are invited onto the field for a post-game celebration at Mosaic Stadium. Step into the finish line moment, get closer to the action, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere as we wrap up an exciting game day together.

Week 5

The Saskatchewan Roughriders sit at 3-1 after another strong performance in Week 5, continuing to establish themselves as one of the top teams in the CFL. With contributions across all three phases of the game, the Green and White remain in a strong position early in the season as they build momentum into next week's bye.

Quarterback Trevor Harris continues to lead the offence, pacing the West Division with 1,148 passing yards through the early part of the season. He is set to reach a major milestone on Sunday, appearing in his 200th CFL game as he continues to provide steady leadership and production for the team.

KeeSean Johnson has been a consistent difference-maker in the passing game, recording 100-plus receiving yards in three of the Roughriders' first four games this season. He delivered a standout performance in Ottawa with nine receptions for 137 yards and a touchdown, as one of the team's most reliable targets.

Special teams delivered a historic highlight as Mathew Sexton scored on a 101-yard punt return in the Roughriders' 27-22 victory over Ottawa on July 3. He became the first player to score on a punt, kickoff, or missed field goal return in his first game as a Roughrider.

On special teams, Nick Wiebe registered two firsts on one play in Ottawa, forcing and recovering a fumble to set up the Roughriders' first touchdown. His play helped swing momentum and sparked an early scoring opportunity for Saskatchewan.
