While tailgating has been a staple in cities like Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary for years, Rider fans are finally getting their own chance to embrace one of football\u2019s greatest traditions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After years of asking for it, legal tailgating officially arrives in Saskatchewan<\/a> Saturday. Located on the Real District grounds, the designated area allows approved pass holders to bring their own food, beverages, fire up the grill and celebrate game day<\/a> in true football fashion. Fans who do not have passes are welcome to roam the lot by foot.<\/p>\n While the fans prepare their grills and coolers, the team is also thrilled about the addition to the game day experience.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tGet breaking National news<\/p>\n Get breaking Canada news delivered to your inbox as it happens so you won’t miss a trending story.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s awesome.
