Regina is commemorating the final season at Mosaic Stadium (aka Taylor Field). Roughrider fans in the article viewing its end are highly emotional about their memories. So are, I am sure, the fans and players of other CFL teams, except its not the same set of emotions and memories, considering what often happened to the opposition playing there.




Over the weekend the City of Regina kicked off the Farewell Season at Mosaic Stadium with day-long events around the facility on Saturday.
Cindy Kobayashi was the MC for Saturday's official kickoff and we heard from Elder Norma Jean Byrd, His Worship Mayor Michael Fougere and City Councillor John Findora. They all told their favourite memories from the iconic stadium, which heads into its final season in 2016.

Taylor Field - renamed Mosaic Stadium in 2005 - will be torn down following the Saskatchewan Roughriders' move into New Mosaic Stadium across the street in 2017.

The next seven months promise to be extremely emotional for all of us whose best memories come from the Grand Ol' Lady (nicknamed by legendary sportswriter Bob Hughes).
"It's wonderful to see the sea of green here and have you all come down and think of all the memories you have from here and those that will be made here this season," Mayor Fougere told the crowd. "Because after this year, we'll be in the brand new stadium across the way.

"There are very few structures in our city that give the iconic view as the stadium here.
