Grey Cup buzz is heating up in the province as the Saskatchewan Roughriders prepare for a major announcement.

Rawlco Radio has confirmed there will be a major Saskatchewan Roughriders announcement on Oct. 13. No one is denying suggestions it is about the Grey Cup returning to Saskatchewan in 2013.

On Thursday, Premier Brad Wall said it was “the worst kept secret in Saskatchewan for the last couple of hours.”

The announcement is to be made during a gala at Casino Regina where Wall, Regina Mayor Pat Fiacco, CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon and Saskatchewan Roughriders President and CEO Jim Hopson will be in attendance.

Speculation about the news of a 2013 Grey Cup hosted in Regina includes the Regina Leader-Post’s Murray McCormick.

“It's about time, it's 10 years since we've had the Grey Cup here,” he said.

“I think it's a pleasant surprise.”

The last Grey Cup in Regina was held in 2003. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have never played in the Grey Cup final when Saskatchewan has hosted it.
