Friday’s Stamps, Riders game postponed due to air quality

Due to air quality concerns, the Canadian Football League (CFL) game between the Calgary Stampeders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders on July 11 has been postponed to Saturday, July 12 at 2 p.m. local/4 p.m. ET.

The decision was made by the CFL League Office, the competing teams and the CFL Players’ Association.

The game was originally scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. local/9 p.m. ET, before being delayed.

In order for players to take the field, the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI+) must be seven or below. The index failed to reach the threshold needed to safely commence the game.
