The 60th anniversary Labour Day Classic will be held at Mosaic Stadium on Sunday. The 8-2 Saskatchewan Roughriders will host the 6-4 Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The game will already be historic, as it will be the highest-attended game ever at Mosaic Stadium.
Riders' legendary quarterback Darion Durant was on the SportsCage recalling his favourite historic Labour Day moment.
“I will have to go back to 2011, when we were just a terrible team, and I can't remember our record. I think we were maybe 1-8 or 1-9 at the time. We just came out and smacked Winnipeg up and down the field. That lets you know, and it's crazy that in a bad season like that, it will be the game that sticks the most. I just say that the records don’t matter. Every time you play against Winnipeg in the Labour Day Classic, it's going to be a dog fight. It’s one of those games where you will see a lot more away fans than any other game in Mosaic Stadium and it's just a different environment. Anything goes, the fans are revved up, Sunday afternoon game, Sunday it's just the best.”
