Saskatchewan Roughriders Head Coach Corey Mace called out fans this week after the team had its lowest attendance since new Mosaic Stadium opened seven years ago.
“When you see those kind of tougher attendance records first two home games, that does motivate you as a coach,” Mace told reporters at Tuesday’s practice.
Mace took to X following Saskatchewan’s 30 – 23 Week 5 win over Toronto.
The Thursday night game had an announced attendance of 23,923 – the lowest ever in Mosaic Stadium, which opened in 2017.
“Rider Nation. We appreciate you, we love you, we heard you. You made a difference,” Mace’s post read. “Let’s skip the lake on [July] 19th.”
“Let’s pack this place like the good ‘ole days,” he added.
“I just remembered coming and playing here,” Mace said defending his post. “It was a packed house.”
