After years of planning and construction, new Mosaic Stadium is now officially open.
“Mosaic Stadium is an iconic venue, the best stadium in Canada and one of the best in North America,” Mayor Michael Fougere said.
“This is like the new Regina, new Saskatchewan. It really is the coming together of a lot of partnerships that work hard together. It’s about vision, leadership and building together… It’s about the character of our city and our province and this is why it’s so important.”

Mosaic has a standard capacity of 33,000, but can expand to hold 40,000 for larger events.
“Our government is proud to have been a part of this historic project,” Premier Brad Wall said. “New Mosaic Stadium sets the standard for sports venues in Canada. From the comfortable seats to the spacious concourses to the concessions, everything about the stadium is first class.”
