The park looks very nice, but man that fountain really isn't a nice specimen.

The other thing i wish they would have done with that fountain is paint the saskatchewan coat of arms that is on the four sides. Previously it was painted (although faded and worn out) but it gave some contrast. But i agree, that park looks amazing compared to what it used to be. Given its location, i really hope they can maintatain it, since in the past that park has not had any security or maintenance attention. Alsso, they did a good job of hiding all the transformers in the park, they are now fenced off with murals on them. Lets see how it looks after Queen City Ex.

For some reason they decided to restore rather than replace. It would have been far cheaper to replace and you are right it probably could have been a lot cooler. For a restoration I think it looks great, but I am unhappy with the cost.

Thank you what great pride for Regina to have one of the best in Canada

I really like what they did with the park next to NMS. It's a nice touch of something classic right next to something new... it really boosts the urban feel of the whole thing.

So how did the opening game in new Mosaic work out?

As far as the event itself, it was off the charts. Regina put on a hell of a show to the country & by the large majority of comments from last night, the new stadium is a masterpiece.

As far as on the field, it was a very entertaining game. A team in year 4 of a rebuild squeaked out an OT victory over a team in Year 2 of a rebuild. It was quite amusing watching the Bombers at the end celebrate as if they won a championships, but I guess you gotta take what you can get when you haven't won anything since McDonalds sold pizza. Great night all around.

It appears that the outcome of the game may have irritated some

You got that right!!!

It was entertaining to watch if nothing else.

esquire · #**5214** Posted **Jul 2, 2017, 11:58 PM**

Yes, I agree... it was certainly an entertaining game. It's amazing how many close finishes there have been in the preseason and thus far in the regular season.

Needless to say, NMS looked fantastic on TV.

pegcityboy · #**5215** Posted **Jul 3, 2017, 1:42 AM**

I was there to see the blue and gold win , fantastic game and stadium is great ! Good that Bombers and Riders have first class facilities ! I had only 2 minor complaints , signage for concessions and sections and washrooms need improving tough to find stuff using the signs , the other one is most of concessions under the stands so you can't watch game in line like you can at IGF! Great experience makes CFL look first class.

Great line!

BB's defense still is worrisome.

NEW Mosaic top notch, best in the CFL!

Pretty good, entertaining game, just too bad those in Van. TO and Montreal don't appreciate the CFL a bit more!

But the CFL doesn't have the athletes the NFL has!!!

Doesn't make it any less entertaining.

Last years test event with the Rams and Huskies was a great game and with the lower bowl full it made the game even more exciting!

Not to sure on that one. TSN ran a piece about new Mosaic before the game on Saturday. They had two fans that were exited about the facility as they had front row upper deck seats. Besides the same obstructed views front row upper deck seats at both Mosaic and IGF suffer from one thing I noticed is those fans were in the 5xx section. That suggests they are a lot higher up that the front row of the upper deck at IGF.

Sure Mosaic looks nice on tv but I would put it tied for third with IGF as CFL stadiums I would want to visit based on watching the games. BC Place post-renos and BMO Field look absolutely fabulous on tv and are places I want to see in person. Timbits field though, wow you built a new facility and that is what you end up with? Montreal is obviously not changing but doesn't really come across as too exciting. Commonwealth looks horrible with all the empty seats but what can you realistically do when you play in a 50,000 seat facility? And McMahon well it still feels a lot like the old Winnipeg Stadium and their plans are something I am excited for.

Mosaic, IGF are number one and two and in that order, BMO is a glorified soccer pitch built on the cheap (it almost looks like a temporary stadium)

Stormer · #**5220** Posted **Jul 4, 2017, 3:13 PM**

I have been to both IGF and Mosaic. IGF is wonderful, but Mosaic's basic stadium is better. The street level main concourse at Mosaic is a big plus as is the wind-deflecting integrated roof. I personally prefer the design of Mosaic. There are very few obstructed seats in both stadiums. IGF is definitely louder. Mosaic has a better location. The suites at Mosaic are better as are the other premium seating options and lounges.
