Council retroactively slashed $1.33 million in rent owed by the Roughriders.
Regina Exhibition Association Limited is set to reveal a new name for Evraz Place.
In a media release Tuesday, REAL announced it would announce the new name at a media conference Wednesday morning.
Evraz purchased the naming rights to the 100-acre property in 2008. It previously had been known as Ipsco Place.
In the release, the association said the latest change “comes after months of work,” but with the war in Ukraine underway, some have pointed out that Russian oligarchs are among the major shareholders in the Evraz steel business.
One of the company’s plants is in Regina.
The Evraz Place grounds are home to numerous facilities with their own naming rights agreements, including Mosaic Stadium, the Brandt Centre, the Co-operators Centre and the AffinityPlex.
The campus is home to a number of major events annually, including Saskatchewan Roughriders CFL games, Regina Pats WHL games, Canadian Western Agribition, Canada’s Farm Progress Show and the Queen City Ex. It also stages other events like concerts, trade shows, conventions and weddings.
