Saskatchewan Rattlers aim to break franchise attendance record against Bandits [Video]

When the Saskatchewan Rattlers take to the court on Sunday afternoon hosting the Vancouver Bandits, not only will the team be searching for their first home win of the 2025 Canadian Elite Basketball League, they’ll be surrounded by what they hope will be a record-breaking crowd.

This after the 1-4 Rattlers fell 105-65 to the Bandits in their CEBL season opener back on May 15.

“Vancouver is coming back and we’re ready to get a little bit of revenge onto them,” said Rattlers manager of ticket sales and premium seating Graham Forrester.

“We’re looking to set a new attendance record, so that’s obviously weighing heavily on everybody’s minds here of filling the ‘Snake Pit’ and making sure everyone is getting the best experience.”

The Rattlers will be aiming to smash their previous single-game attendance record of just over 3,200 fans on Sunday with the team projecting at least 3,600 fans through the door by opening tip-off.
