Roughrider fans, players prepare to say goodbye to Mosaic Stadium
REGINA — It was a bone-chilling day when Gene Makowsky and other members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders returned to Mosaic Stadium to celebrate winning the 2007 Grey Cup.
About 8,000 fans waited in the stands for their beloved team, despite the cold weather and the fact that it was a Monday.
“They took time off to come greet us coming home and to be able to carry the Grey Cup into the stadium that day was a very special memory,” recalled Makowsky, who spent 17 seasons with the Riders and holds the team record for the most games played at 284.
Former Riders receiver Matt Dominguez was on that CFL championship team. The Texas native also remembers the chill in the air.
