The Saskatchewan Roughriders have put forward a bid to the CFL to have Regina become a hub city for a potential 2020 season.

The team says whether it wins the bid or not, it supports the leagues decision and are eager to get back on the field.

In a statement, the Government of Saskatchewan confirmed it will commit $3 million to the bid.

"The selection of Regina as the CFL’s hub city would have a significant positive impact on our hospitality sector and the city’s economy.
