It was just a brief appearance as players took turn speaking to the fans and hoisting the Cup from the top of the stadium above the Rider Store.
It was a raucous scene outside of the northeast gate with fans cheering each of the players who spoke, but the biggest cheers were reserved for quarterback Trevor Harris, the Grey Cup Most Outstanding Player.
Harris told the crowd that the team had been “motivated this by our love for one another. But it’s also been motivated by you guys the best fanbase in the country. We love you guys, thank you so much.”
On Tuesday, the Roughriders hold their victory parade down the Green Mile in Regina, ending at the steps of the Legislature.
