Mosaic Stadium
Location: Regina
Status: Operational
Value of Partnership: $278 million
Type of P3: DBf
Handback: N/A
This new community-owned stadium, part of Regina’s most ambitious redevelopment project in its history, hosted its first events in October 2016, two years after the city selected PCL Constructors Canada Inc. to design, build and provide interim financing. It was completed on time and on budget.
The $278-million, 33,000 seat multi-purpose facility is home to the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders and hosts competitions by non-profit sport organizations and entertainment events. It replaced the city’s storied Taylor Field, originally built in 1936 and expanded/ upgraded in the late 1970s and 1990s.
The facility boasts a translucent spectator roof and a continuous, wide concourse around the facility. Sixty-eight per cent of the seats are located in the sunken lower bowl, all with unobstructed views of the field from each seat. Another notable feature is the general admission lounge located on the west side of the facility that is accessible to all fans.
To help fund its three-phase, $1-billion Regina Revitalization Initiative, which includes the new stadium, the teardown of the old stadium, the creation of a new residential area, housing units and commercial outlets, city council approved a 0.45-per-cent mill-rate increase for taxpayers for a decade starting in 2012.
