'Saskatchewan Roughriders Tickets'

'The Saskatchewan Roughriders is one of the oldest professional gridiron football teams in the world. It evolved from the Regina Rugby Club — the first organized football team of any kind to play in Saskatchewan — which was founded in 1910. The football team adapted the name Roughriders in 1924. After the Moose Jaw and Saskatoon clubs folded in 1948, the Roughriders changed its name from Regina to Saskatchewan to reflect the fact that it was the sole football team remaining in the province. Saskatchewan has won four Grey Cup championships in its history. It clinched the first title in 1966 over the Ottawa Rough Riders 29-14 at Vancouver’s Empire Stadium. After four subsequent Grey Cup losses, Saskatchewan returned to the top of the CFL in 1989 with a thrilling 43-40 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Dave Ridgway’s 35-year field goal with nine seconds left sealed the victory. Saskatchewan won two more titles in 2007 and 2013. The last victory took place in front of the home fans.

'Saskatchewan shares an intense rivalry with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from nearby Manitoba. The annual Labour Day matchup between the Roughriders and the Blue Bombers has been called the Banjo Bowl since 2004, but the rivalry stretches back even further to the early days of Canadian football. Saskatchewan also maintains a rivalry with the nearby Calgary Stampeders.'
