Preseason

On June 14, 2013, it was announced that the Edmonton Eskimos would host their 2015 preseason game at the new SMS Equipment Stadium at Shell Place in Fort McMurray against the Roughriders on June 13, 2015. As part of the deal, the game was broadcast nationally on TSN. The game was played here due to scheduling conflicts with the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup at Commonwealth Stadium and to broaden the Eskimos' fanbase.
