Hey no problem everyone. This is Erik from California who frequently calls into the Drew Remenda Sports Show, and since I've been listening into the show, I've just loved the Riders and the amazing support given in Riderville. It reminds me so much of us with the Sharks down here in San Jose. Granted Team Teal has only been around 16 seasons, but the passion is almost to where the Rider Pride is at across Saskatchewan.

Not in Regina the dome doesnt rule!! OUTDOOR STADIUM IS THE ONLY WAY FOR THE RIDERS!!!

Can't wait for the new stadium in Regina, hopw it's like the Docklands in Melbourne Aus, or close to it, that would be great.

I remeber this day. Almost the whole city was blacked out. It was weird. All I Could here when i went for a walk was The Rider's on Radio's That's All I Heard when walking around.

How ironic is that Walby starts telling a story about playing in a game where the power wenty out, only for the power to go out a second later?
