Experience Regina is still the most amazing "official" tourism ad ever made.

The Kramer IMAX is a pretty good reason to go to Regina if films are your thing, as they have a 70mm projector and it's one of the best IMAX theatres in Canada. Rider Games are probably the most notable cultural experience the city has to offer.

Saskatchewan Roughrider fandom is on a whole 'nother level, and unlike Winnipeg which has an NHL team or southern Ontario which has the NHL, NBA, and MLB... the CFL is all Saskatchewan has, so they care about it a lot.

I just think Mosaic stadium should have been considered for a game or two, despite Regina's small size. They would have done the event proud, even more so than Winnipeg, imo, because Saskatchewan cares more about the Riders and their stadium than Manitoba does.

Oh, they wrote it in paint at their own stadium so it must be true.


Winnipeg and Saskatchewan have the best two CFL fanbases and the best rivalry, but I still think Rider Nation is in a league of their own. Mosaic Stadium is a slight step up from Princess Auto Stadium, and Rider fans are just next level devoted lol.
