Really pathetic by the CFL. Move the game to BC or something in a dome.

That’s even dumber than starting the game at 11pm.

If it starts at 11:15, the game had better be an all time classic.

What happens if the smoke blows in at halftime? Wait an hour to see if it gets better?

Playing a game at 11:00 at night after the players have been pretty much sitting on their asses and after a long day. This is how injuries happen.

I say trot out Parades and Lauther and have them kick FG's starting at the 35 yard line and then move then back 10 yards until someone makes and someone misses.

All in an effort to wait for "safer" conditions for the players. Absolutely pathetic.

I can't see a world where TSN doesn't broadcast with the rights and 5 channels.

Gotta be a competitive disadvantage for the Stamps tomorrow. But of course the real losers were all the people who sat in the stands at Mosaic. aka Riders fans.

There's a big romantic part of me that's a bit sad. When I was coaching Bantam and even Spring we'd have late night games under the lights, and there's nothing like football under the Friday Night Lights. But I'll stand by what I said earlier that from a player safety stand point, playing this late after being up all day, and then sitting on your ass is how injuries happen.

Given all the fires and smoke, how do they not have better contingency plans? This should have been postponed to tomorrow an hour ago if not more.

Well I can tell you it was a long boring wait with little to no news in the stadium which was less than ideal. There were a few announcements but we got the best info off the web. We left at 10:20. It’s going to be a sparse stadium tomorrow. With the craven music festival on hotel rooms are at a premium so most distance fans are most likely heading home. Most of the local fans are probably spent as we spent the time drinking haha. At least I watch it from the garage tomorrow. Go riders!

Wow. I listened to the pregame show for 4 hours on QR77. Dropped my wife and kids off for the Grandstand show, went home and was still listening to it when i picked them back up. I kinda wanted to see a game start at 1115pm. lol

Although i hate Rider fans, making them sit 4 hours in an open air stadium, delayed for air quality is pretty damn crazy and cruel!

Any word on the smoke / air conditions today in Regina? Will the game go ahead today or be cancelled?
