Riders & Rides: A Perfect Pair of Memory Makers

It’s been an up and down season—so it’s only fitting that there’s going be roller coasters at our next game!

Fans of the Green & White eagerly await the coming of each game with an unrivalled anticipation and sense of excitement largely unmatched in our prairie province … Except for maybe the unbridled jubilation of a child in the days before the REAL District’s most electric attraction: The Queen City Ex. One thing this tandem of troupes have in common is a ready and willing attitude to cheer at the top of their lungs during every twisting, turning, highlight reel-inducing event that takes place on the expanse of ground where Lewvan, Elphinstone and Saskatchewan Drive meet.

So, it’s fitting that these two groups, united by their shared love of summertime spectacles, will converge at the home of the Regina Exhibition Association for a full day of high-flying, adrenaline-pumping action! When you secure your tickets to the Saskatchewan Roughriders Week 9 matchup against the red-hot Ottawa REDBLACKS, you’ll be granted complimentary gate access to Queen City Ex—a savings of $16 to $20 dollars!

Come early and take in everything the QCX has to offer – from midway favourites to mouth-watering fair fare! Indoors, experience the thrill of MegaBounce, enjoy entertainment in the Family Zone, immerse yourself in MOSTOS Indigenous Village, and explore the Marketplace for unique treasures. Then head outside and step right up to iconic rides such as the Crazy Mouse, The Zipper, and the Polar Express!

 

The frenzied, festive fun continues when you make your way inside Mosaic Stadium, where we buckle up for kickoff with $5 domestic beers before the game and delicious deals on food throughout the stadium for what is sure to be an appetizing and anticipated CFL head-to-head. We’re welcoming a REDBLACKS team who have been climbing the league’s power rankings like a daredevil preparing for a death-defying high dive. On the other side of Mosaic Stadium stands a Riders’ team with something to prove—not unlike those strong and resilient super-heroes who face midway tests, looking to impress and take home fantastic and over-sized prizes!

It’ll be a long weekend to remember when two Saskatchewan summer showcases get together to offer an unforgettable exhibition. Come for the carnival and corn dogs and stay for “Super” Mario and Shawn Bane Jr. as the Queen City Ex and Saskatchewan Roughriders feature fun for fans of all ages!
