Riders unveil statues honouring Lancaster, Reed
If you ever wanted to take a hand off from Ron Lancaster or run alongside George Reed, two new statues at Mosaic Stadium will let you make believe you are.
The statues of the two Roughrider legends were unveiled Saturday afternoon to the delight not only of the fans who were there, but also to Lancaster’s family and Reed himself.
Made by the same firm who created the 13th man statue, the two new statues are incredibly detailed, but also allow people to get up close and personal with the statues.
The short ceremony was emotional at times for both Reed, and for Lancaster’s daughter Lana Mueller who said her dad – who died in 2008 – would be honoured and humbled to see his likeness at the new stadium and that it would have meant a lot to him to be there beside Reed.
