Saskatchewan Roughriders

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are a professional Canadian football team based in Regina, Saskatchewan. The team plays their home games at Mosaic Stadium. The team is the third oldest gridiron football team, behind the Arizona Cardinals and the Toronto Argonauts. They are the second-oldest CFL team and the oldest football team west of the Mississippi River.

The Roughriders were founded as the Regina Rugby Club in 1910. The team changed their name to the Regina Roughriders from the Regina Rugby Club in 1924 and finally to the current moniker in 1946. The Roughriders played their home games at historic Taylor Field from 1936 to 2016; in 2017, the team moved to the newly-constructed Mosaic Stadium at Evraz Place. The team draws fans from across Saskatchewan and Canada who are affectionately known as the Rider Nation. The Roughriders play in the smallest market in the CFL, and the second-smallest major-league market in North America (only Green Bay, Wisconsin, is smaller). They have finished first in the Western Division 8 times and have won the Western championship a record 28 times. They have played in the championship game 19 times and won four Grey Cups.

The team has had 20 players inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. The Riders' biggest rival is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers; games between the two are often sold out before the beginning of the season. The Roughriders Football Club and the city of Regina have hosted the Grey Cup three times, including a Roughrider win in the 101st Grey Cup.
