Saskatchewan Tailgating Act Introduced in Legislature
The Tailgating Act permits supervised pre-game drinking and barbecuing at Mosaic Stadium for Roughriders home games, initially for season ticket holders only, starting 2026.
- On Thursday, Liquor and Gaming Minister Alana Ross introduced the Tailgating Act under Premier Scot Moe's government, allowing food and alcohol consumption near Mosaic Stadium for 2026 Roughriders home games.
- Following the team's request earlier this year, Craig Reynolds, CEO and president of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, said tailgating will create a 'buzz' and is part of enhancing the fan experience.
- The bill would require a permit and Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority oversight, with supervision likely from Regina Exhibition Association Limited staff while vehicle access and conduct rules are enforced, the province said.
- Initial eligibility will be limited to Mosaic Stadium home games, targeting season ticket-holders as a fan reward; the province said eligibility could expand after 2026.
- Tailgating is already allowed outside stadiums in other CFL cities including Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Ottawa, and political panelists Alexander Quon and Murray Mandryk predicted a spicy session amid wider disputes over tariffs, health care and wildfire response.
