Rider Nation can make a difference!”
This is the Roughriders’ second sellout this season after the game on June 30th versus the Montreal Alouettes also reached Mosaic Stadium’s sales capacity.
The Riders currently lead the CFL in sold and scanned attendance entering Week 7.
“We encourage fans wanting to attend the next home game to contact the Rider Ticket Office as tickets are currently still available,” Partipilo added.
