Ideally, there will be 33,000-plus versions of the beloved 13th Fan for the Saskatchewan Roughriders\u2019 final home game of a smashingly successful season.<\/p>\n
The atmosphere and decibel level created by a sold-out crowd would be incalculably beneficial to the home side during the Western Final on Nov. 8 (5:30 p.m., Mosaic Stadium).<\/a><\/p>\n Saskatchewan earned hosting privileges by finishing first in the West Division with a league-best 12-6 record.<\/p>\n \u201cThe advantage of being at home, specifically in this place, is tremendous,\u201d Head Coach Corey Mace said on Wednesday<\/a>. \u201cI know our fan base wanted it so badly and we were able to accomplish that.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m unbelievably excited to see Rider Nation show up. Being on the flip side and going to somebody else\u2019s barn last year, it was tough on us as the opponent. I want that to be the exact same environment here.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s our fan base\u2019s job. That\u2019s why we built this place \u2014\u00a0to bring Rider Nation here for games like this.\u201d<\/p>\n The Roughriders are preparing for their second consecutive Western Final \u2014 and their fourth in a span of six seasons.<\/p>\n The Winnipeg Blue Bombers visited Mosaic Stadium with a Grey Cup berth at stake in 2019.

The Blue Bombers are to face the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday, with the winner to proceed to the Eastern Final against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.<\/p>\n Out West, the B.C. Lions and Calgary Stampeders will collide on Saturday in Vancouver with the common objective of playing at Mosaic Stadium one week henceforth.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fans make this thing go,\u201d right tackle Jermarcus Hardrick said<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m excited to see this place on November 8th. I\u2019m excited to see the fans. I\u2019m excited to love on \u2019em.<\/p>\n \u201cRider Nation has been great to us this year. Let\u2019s do it one more time. Let\u2019s be loud. Hydrate up.
