Saturday is the last game at the old Mosaic Stadium when the Saskatchewan Roughriders host the BC Lions at 5 p.m. CST.
This week we asked viewers to send Global News their favourite Mosaic memories and we received hundreds of entries spanning decades.
Here a few of the Mosaic memories:
Kevin Fulton
Going to a game with my father who fired the touchdown cannon back in the ’70s and having George Reed give me his chinstrap in the end zone after the Riders beat Edmonton.
John Fortune
My memory was when I walked into the office, asked for Ivan and he came out to greet me and brought me to the dressing room. He then introduced me to quite a few of the players and a couple of the coaches and then got down to showing me his daily routine and what sorts of injuries to expect and how to treat them. He then asked if I would like to come back for some more training which I was happy to accept, so from then on I went there on Wednesdays for the day.
Another cherished moment was when the team came back from Toronto with the Grey Cup, I was there picking up something I had forgotten to get before they shut down, I didn’t know they were arriving and went in to get my stuff and got put to work preparing for the teams arrival. I even got to hold the Cup and was surprised how light it really is. I was there on and off for about 15 years and what I learned from Ivan and his team really helped my high school teams including one particular student who was a top notch high school player and after university was a lineman for the Riders. Scott Schultz was this young man’s name.

My favourite Mosaic Stadium memory was the totally awesome good time I had rockin to the Rolling Stones on October 6, 2006. Performing under a full moon, Mick Jagger and the gang lifted the crowd higher and higher as Mick strutted and pranced around the stage. Can’t beat that for an all-time high!
Glenn Tumac
The first time I got to see Ron Lancaster play at Taylor field.
Jim Daschle
Playing all our regular season high school football games for the Miller Marauders and winning the Regina City 4A Championship at Taylor Field in 1981.
Gaylene Helgason
My son and I returned home to Saskatchewan after living in Britain for nearly 30 years and a Canadian friend invited us to a Rider game. My first thought was I couldn’t believe the atmosphere – from the fanfare to the wacky outfits, to the Snowbirds to the affection of the fans for the team – and vice versa, I was hooked! I am not a season ticket holder but go as often as I can.

2013 Grey Cup was my favorite memory. I have been a Rider fan for over 50 years and Saskatchewan fans are the greatest fans ever.
