13 thousand showed up it keeps going up who needs the riders lol
Funny they never seem to want to show the crowd on here . Try 13,790 fans on hand for this one. And it is going to get bigger. "Go Rush" !
As usual Saskatoon is full of themselves, great to see the city of panhandlers actually paying cash to support something.
They should move the team to regina, that's a true sports city, Saskatoon is a joke!
The only reason this league staying afloat is because Saskatoon. League should fold in a year or two.
Regina should get a team for Lawn Bowling this year but on the other hand there might be to much Heavy Contact for them to handle.
One of these years, Regina might have football team (ie: Thunder, Rams, Riders) that can compete with the big boys.
U of R women's basketball team also lost in the Canada West final to ……… Yep, Saskatoon.
oh those wacky toontowners and there witty Regina put downs
Ya well my mom can beat up your mom….nah-nah-na-na-nah
