Roughriders sell out playoff game versus Lions in just 35 minutes

REGINA — It didn't take the Saskatchewan Roughriders long to sell out their West Division semifinal contest against the B.C. Lions.

The Riders made tickets to the game available to the general public Monday morning, and they were sold out within 35 minutes. So when Saskatchewan takes to the field against B.C. on Saturday (4:30 p.m. ET), it will do so with the support of a capacity gathering of 30,945.

It will mark the 18th straight sellout at Mosaic Stadium dating back to last year.

The Roughriders will also be hosting a playoff game for the second straight season after going 18 years without one.

"The support the Riders have received continues to overwhelm us," team president Jim Hopson said in a statement. "From pre-season to the playoff game, the dedication from our fans has not wavered and for that we are grateful."
