This was a sports stadium that is the home field of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League; it was also the site of University of Regina Rams and Regina Thunder of the Prairie Football Conference football teams. High school football was also played here.
The stadium was built in 1927 as Park de Young and became home to the Roughriders that same year. In 1946 it was renamed Taylor Field. It is owned and managed by the city of Regina. In its final years, the field had artificial turf and a seating capacity of 28,800.
On June 23, 2006, the Roughriders and The Mosaic Company announced a 10 year, $3.75 million naming rights deal. Unlike other similar deals, which have seen original names of facilities disappear, it was decided to retain the Taylor Field name, thus the facility was renamed Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field.
On October 6 and 8, the facility was a sold-out venue for two Rolling Stones concerts.

The stadium closed for good in 2016, upon the completion of the new Mosaic Stadium a short distance away to the west. Demolition took place in 2016-17. The west grandstand, the tallest part of the structure, was toppled on Oct. 27, 2017.
