The game at Princess Auto Stadium was still a go for 7:30 p.m., the CFL said in an afternoon update on X, formerly Twitter, and that air quality had improved to seven.<\/p>\n
The CFL and Players’ Association policy states air quality must be seven or below to warm up and play.<\/p>\n
The CFL says all stadiums are equipped with real-time, air-quality monitoring systems<\/p>\n
Poor air quality in Regina forced the Calgary Stampeders and Saskatchewan Roughriders to postpone their July 13 game to the following afternoon.<\/p>\n
