Football fans in the Bridge City will soon get their chance to secure a seat for a rare homecoming game, as the Saskatchewan Roughriders prepare to return to Saskatoon for a pre-season showdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The club announced that tickets for the May 23 exhibition game at Griffiths Stadium will go on sale to the\u00a0general public\u00a0April 7 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The game marks the first\u00a0Roughriders\u00a0pre-season appearance in Saskatoon in more than 30 years, adding to the excitement surrounding the matchup against the rival Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Season ticket holders will get\u00a0early access, with Saskatoon-area members eligible to\u00a0purchase\u00a0seats starting March 18, followed by all members on March 20.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Griffiths Stadium offering a smaller, more intimate setting than Regina\u2019s Mosaic Stadium, demand is expected to be high. To help manage availability, ticket purchases will be capped at four per account.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fans attending the game can expect a unique viewing experience. The\u00a0stadium\u2019s\u00a0grandstands will provide traditional seating with strong sightlines, while large standing-room areas are expected to create a more social, festival-like atmosphere close to the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pre-season contest also coincides with the Roughriders\u2019 annual training camp in Saskatoon, further building anticipation as the team brings CFL action back to the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With limited capacity and heightened interest, fans are encouraged to act quickly when tickets become available next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Football fans in the Bridge City will soon get their chance to secure a seat for a rare…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551544,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-551543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
