Legal CFL tailgating is setting the tone for football in Saskatchewan
Fans who were able to get their hands on a permit brought food, games, drinks and excitement to the stadium grounds for some pre-game excitement.
Legal tailgating has arrived in Regina, Saskatchewan, allowing football fans to experience the pre-game excitement they have enjoyed in other Canadian cities. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, the defending champions, opened the gates to fans on June 13, granting them access to designated areas surrounding Mosaic Stadium. Fans with permits not only enjoyed food, games, and drinks but also music, grills, and alcoholic beverages.
This groundbreaking move was made possible through collaboration between the Roughriders, the provincial government, and the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority. The decision puts Saskatchewan on par with other major cities like Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal, and Winnipeg, which have long embraced legal tailgating.
Saina Ali reports that while several teams across the country have implemented this policy, the Roughriders were relatively late to the party. The stadium grounds now buzz with pre-game energy thanks to the unique tailgating experience offered to permit holders.
