Hey Stampeders fans, get exclusive live updates by following our Game Day Twitter feed.
After launching the 2010 Canadian Football League campaign with three consecutive contests against East Division opponents, the Stampeders face their first West Division rival tonight as the Saskatchewan Roughriders make their only regular-season visit to McMahon Stadium. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
Keeping in the recent tradition of the rivalry, there’ll be plenty at stake in the game as the clubs currently occupy the top two positions in the West standings. Calgary is looking to reverse the trend established during the 2009 season as Saskatchewan won the season series 2-0-1 and then knocked out the Stamps in the West final.
If you can’t make it to the stadium, you can follow the action by getting exclusive live updates on the Stampeders’ Game Day Twitter feed.
