Canadian Football League Commissioner Mark Cohon has announced that the 2013 Grey Cup game and festival is coming to Saskatchewan.

“Saskatchewan's passion for Canadian football is legendary. Its hospitality is second to none, and its pride in all things Canadian is tremendous. The 101st Grey Cup game will bring all of those ingredients – as well as thousands of Canadians – together in a very special way,” Cohon said.

The title game will take place on November 24, 2013, at Mosaic Stadium in Regina. This will mark the third time that Saskatchewan has hosted the event, with 1995 and 2003 among the most successful Grey Cup events ever.

“Grey Cup week is a tradition that attracts fans from across the country for an amazing week, culminating in a world-class sports event,” said Saskatchewn premier Brad Wall. “I guarantee that the spirit of Saskatchewan will go on full display again.”
