Great Story on Exhibition Stadium in this video:

Lots of memories in that place:

My first big rock concert - April Wine with Heart as the opening act.

1974 - Tiger Williams climbing more than half way up the seats to fight with fans. - there was no glass around the penalty boxes or benches if you can believe it. I was at this game and it was completely totally wild:
Friday, April 19, after almost 47 minutes of play, the Broncos decided to leave their bench led by Dave “Tiger” Williams. Using their hockey sticks as weapons, he led them into the stands to settle a few matters with some spectators. Approximately 30 minutes later, both teams were escorted to their dressing rooms by Regina's police. When the game resumed, the Bronco's bench was surrounded by a ring of city police and there was no further scoring. Regina went on to down Swift Current 6-2 at the Stadium.

The old organ playing up in the rafters.

The ancient old ice cleaning machine - I thought it was magic when I was a kid.

The old scoreboard with moving hands clock. See below.

So many more...
