Regina mayor Michael Fougere said there has been a lot of interest in seeing what's going on inside the busy site.
"[There have been] calls to me, people driving around, a lot of people are interested. 'Where are things are at? Can I get a look at this one?' Because it's being built, it's harder to see inside. They haven't seen the bowl since the beginning," he said.
People who want to have a peek inside can meet in front of the stadium along Elphinstone Street from noon until 3:00 p.m. CST.
