The Blue Bombers defeated the Roughriders 23-18 on Sunday.
Regina is a beautiful city. It’s going to be even more beautiful tomorrow night when @MayorFougere makes good on our friendly wager & lights up @sskroughriders Mosaic Stadium BLUE & GOLD. Can’t wait to see a photo. Way to go @Wpg_BlueBombers! pic.twitter.com/Oqj8a4AyTi

The two mayors made the agreement official on Twitter on Friday afternoon.
.@Mayor_Bowman and I have a friendly wager on this weekend’s game. WHEN the @sskroughriders win, the #WinnipegSign will be lit up in beautiful Rider green. IF the @Wpg_BlueBombers are lucky enough to win, we will light up Mosaic Stadium in their ugly blue and gold. Go Riders!

The mayor’s office said Mosaic Stadium will be lit up between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Winnipeg will take on the Calgary Stampeders in the West Final this weekend.
