Preseason Game Day at a Glance

May 29, 2025 - Canadian Football League (CFL)
Saskatchewan Roughriders News Release


Rider Nation, join us Friday evening for your first look at the new squad. The 2025 edition, including a number of veterans alongside promising newcomers, will line up for the first time at home this season, hoping to show a Corey Mace-led coaching staff that they have what it takes to be a Saskatchewan Roughrider.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m., with a familiar foe providing the opposition. The rival Winnipeg Blue Bombers are in town for the second of five scheduled matchups this season. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with kickoff at 7:00 p.m.

Community Culture Night, presented by First Nations University of Canada, will shine a light on the people, traditions and cultures that make Rider Nation unique. The evening will celebrate the start of a new season with an unforgettable night of unity and pride. Beginning with Coors Light Party in the Park, various displays and a traditional tipi will be available for fans to experience as part of the pre-game festivities.

The first Coors Light Party in the Park of the 2025 season begins at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Fans can expect live performances from DJ Tolley T and the Harvard Media Saskatchewan Roughrider Cheer Team in the park which will also feature face painting and balloon artists for our littlest Rider fans. Plus, don't miss the chance to meet some of our stars with a player autograph signing before the game.

Don't miss your chance to learn something new when Regina Cricket Association (The Regina Shaheens) takes over the park to demonstrate the fundamentals of cricket, one of the world's most popular international sports. Fans will have the chance to test out cricket for themselves with members of the club there to explain the rules of the game, how to throw and hit, and how to get involved in local leagues.

Game Day festivities continue inside the stadium where the national anthem will be sung by 620 CKRM anthem singer, Nino Hernandez. A special halftime performance will feature the Mosaic Festival Dancers, representing the Austrian, Balaton Hungarian, Hellenic Greek, Italian, Kyiv Ukrainian, Metis, Filipino and Scottish pavilions - all there to showcase the vibrant culture of Saskatchewan.

The Club is excited to bring back Rider Store Game Day Specials this season. Every home game will highlight an exciting piece of Rider merchandise that fans will be able to take home at a special game day price! For the preseason game, it's all about embracing the summer weather as select sunglasses will be 25% off. This season's so bright, you're going to need 'em!

Also returning for 2025 is $5 pregame beer! The $5 Happy Hour special will apply exclusively to 355 ml cans of Coors Light, Pilsner, and Heineken 0.0 (non-alcoholic) and run for one hour starting 90 minutes prior to kickoff and cutting off 30 minutes before kickoff. Keep an eye on the SaskTel MaxTron, which will count down Happy Hour all through the pregame, so you don't miss out!

Happy Hour beer locations include the south end concourse pop-up locations with additional Happy Hour beer tubs located near Young's Equipment Gate 1, Pepsi Gate 2 and SaskTel Gate 3. The offer does not apply to draught beer and will not be available at food concessions, SportsCage Lounge or within premium areas. However, fans who arrive for game day a little earlier will have the option to purchase $5 beer at Coors Light Party in the Park, starting three hours prior to kickoff.

If you plan to enjoy alcoholic beverages, remember to arrange a safe, sober ride home from Mosaic Stadium, with several available options, including sober drivers, Rider Transit presented by WorkSafe Saskatchewan, cabs, and ride-sharing services.

Preseason Week 3

It's a new year of Saskatchewan Roughrider football, and the current squad is ready to show you what it's made of. The Green and White has nine returning All-CFL players and a strong core of veterans overall, along with several talented rookies who are vying for positions.

Many of the newcomers were on display during Saturday's preseason opener in Winnipeg, where established players also got a taste of the action.

Running back A.J. Ouellette exploded for a 21-yard run early in the game, hurdling a would-be tackler in the process. Third-year Roughrider safety Jaxon Ford delivered a couple of jarring hits. Defensive end Benoit Marion forced a fumble while registering a sack. Another veteran, Thomas Bertrand-Hudon, rushed for a game-high 41 yards on six carries while working with an offensive line that did not surrender a sack.

Drae McCray, making his first appearance on a CFL field, took off on a 51-yard kickoff return and added a 36-yarder shortly thereafter. Brayden Misseri, who signed with the Roughriders as an undrafted free agent, had a game-high 51 receiving yards on three catches. D'Sean Mimbs also caught three passes for Saskatchewan.
