Saskatchewan Tailgating Act Introduced in Legislature
The Tailgating Act will allow season ticket-holders to tailgate with permits outside Mosaic Stadium, enhancing fan experience without aiming to increase team revenue, officials said.
- Liquor and Gaming Minister Alana Ross introduced the Tailgating Act on Thursday under Premier Scot Moe's government, amending alcohol rules to permit tailgating near Mosaic Stadium for the 2026 CFL season.
- Earlier this year the Saskatchewan Roughriders approached the government, prompting the rules' development, with CEO Craig Reynolds saying it's meant to reward fans and enhance their experience.
- A permit-based system would govern tailgating, the minister said, requiring close collaboration with the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority and staff supervision likely by Regina Exhibition Association Limited.
- Season-Ticket holders will receive initial access under the proposal, with tailgating presented as a fan reward not a revenue play, and the province said eligibility could expand after 2026.
- Politically, both major parties backed the move despite other disagreements, with the Saskatchewan Party government and NDP Opposition supporting tailgating already allowed in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Ottawa, while Reynolds cited the Buffalo Bills' model last week.
