While Sask. has always been known for its love of curling, fans were in full force from start to finish as Team Saskatchewan held the best record throughout the tournament.
The Brandt Centre was rocking for over a week as the 2024 Montana’s Brier rolled into town with some amazing curling.
While Saskatchewan has always been known for its love of curling, fans were in full force from start to finish as Team Saskatchewan held the best record throughout the tournament.
People all over the city couldn’t seem to get enough curling.
The final attendance across the 10-day event finished at 101,401 people.
“We couldn’t have been happier with the way it went,” Curling Canada director of communication Allen Cameron, said. “But I won’t say we are surprised either, because Regina is curling country. The host committee did a marvelous job, and the volunteers were terrific. It was just a good time had by all.”
The attendance was slightly lower than 2018 when Regina last hosted the Brier, but Cameron said that is primarily because they played fewer games, meaning fewer opportunities for people to come watch.
The 2018 Brier had an attendance of 110,555.
“In terms of paid ticket buyers, it was roughly on par with 2018,” he explained. “And in fact, we exceeded our projected budget for ticket purchases here, too, so Regina really came through.”
