Backing has disappeared from 10 seats in Section 25 on Mosaic Stadium’s east side.

Section 25 was last occupied on Saturday, when the B.C. Lions defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders 24-6 in the final CFL game at the facility.

During the game, fans were advised not to leave with any parts of the stadium, which is still scheduled to house university and high school contests in 2016. But in one case, a plank of wood spanning 10 seats has been removed. The seat numbers are on the backing.

The Roughriders and other local football teams are to move into the new Mosaic Stadium next season. The original stadium, which will eventually be demolished, was the site of Monday’s Regina Intercollegiate Football League 3A final, in which the Miller Marauders defeated the Sheldon-Williams Spartans 56-31 to capture the Stewart Conference title.

At least two more games remain at the stadium. The RIFL’s Schwann Conference (4A) final, between the LeBoldus Golden Suns and Riffel Royals, is slated for Friday at 6 p.m. On Saturday at 3:30 p.m., the University of Regina Rams are to play host to the UBC Thunderbirds in a Canada West football semifinal. The Rams could play as many as three more games at Mosaic Stadium this season.

The east grandstand is typically vacant for football games that do not involve the Roughriders.
