Fun fact: New mosaic stadium will have the second largest video board in North America. Behind only the Dallas cowboys #riders #cfl.

The south video board will be twice the size of the current one (which is huge) in the NE corner of the old stadium.

I don't know too much about those big screens 'n that; however, if they are 'modular', I'd bet that there's no limit as to how large they can get.

I heard they are changing it and will have guided boat tours through the inside of the stadium.

A walk into Regina's new Mosaic Stadium from yours truly. Video doesn't do it justice.

'Had the tour, it will be an amazing facility!!!

I guess large concerts will face north, and more moderate-sized concerts will face south. The stadium can be modified for various other-types of events.

There are miniature drainage 'sewers' along the rows of seats.

There needs to be a further 8' excavation of the field surface; however, it will rebuilt up again for the final playing surface.

There will eventually be a secure pathway that will be constructed along the rail tracks between downtown and the stadium.

Coming along nicely, but needs more PCL signage.

I have to say, the drab green tin siding actually looks much better in person, or on overcast days? I was pleasantly surprised. The siding also reminds me of Mosaic 1.0. Was this the reason for using this siding or just coincidence?

It really was great to go to the tour and see it. Less ramps in the new stadium. On the Elphinstone side, there is a great wall that seems to be mostly glass. We were told it's the Rider store on the main floor, Sask Sport above that and Rider business operations at the top. I like the green tin. The tyndal stone is going to be really nice on there as well. Progress is going well and I hear it's on budget as well. That could change obviously but was still positive to know they are over half and still where they should be with the money. Everyone seemed really upbeat and smiling there today!

Confederation Park is supposed to be a pre-game place to go once this is finished. Does anyone know if the plan is to restore the fountain there? Great historical piece.

Right from the get-go, the plan was to include a bit of retro/Mosaic 1.0-type features/elements in order to pay respect and preserve some of the history of the old stadium.

Yeah, the fountain in the park has seen better days alright! There is a budget of $1.5 million that will be used to enhance the park. I would surmise (and hope) that a huge chunk of that will go towards the fountain.

The Rider Store, Sask Sport and Roughrider business ops are in the structure that faces the Armoury, not Elphinstone. That was also the space where the public were able to view the contstruction.

I don't have the link but I read an article a month or so ago about the City applying for federal funds to fix up the park. The budget didn't include the fountain at all, they said they were going to need a different source of funds to tackle the fountain.

The City was denied a federal grant from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program, which is tied to the 150th anniversary of confederation in 2017. They do not have funding as of now.
