The first phase of the Regina Revitalization Initiative, the Stadium Project will be the new home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. The stadium is centrally located at Evraz Place. The new multi-purpose facility will be an iconic structure not only for Regina, but the entire province. The stadium will have a capacity of 33,000, which is expandable to 40,000 and will be a suitable venue for many types of sports and entertainment events throughout the year. Construction began in June 2014 and substantial completion is scheduled for August 2016. The first Roughrider game in the new stadium will be played in June 2017.
