Some of the Fans

Home of the Toronto Bluejays baseball team, the Skydome is noteworthy for it retractable roof which allows the team to play their games whether there’s rain or sun. A hotel overlooks the field and in past years, fans have observed couples enjoying their own entertainments. Be sure to bring binoculars to be able to watch the game more closely.

Skydome

I don't care how many companies own this facility and how often they'll change its name - for me this will forever be the Skydome. When it opened in the late 80's we were all agog by the retractable roof, since that seemed to spice up the otherwise dull baseball games. The Skydome really found a place in the imaginations of all Torontonians in the early 90s (93 and 94) when the Blue Jays won back-to-back World Series pennants. It was the point at which baseball replaced the much beloved game of hockey as Toronto's pride and joy. Unfortunately the subsequent strike dealt a blow to the popularity of the game from which it has yet to recover. For this reason the Skydome is rarely filled for baseball games. Its a bit more fun to simply go down to the Skydome area, see if the roof is retracted or not and enjoy the views of the city from around the Dome.

If you're in town, why not take in a Jays game. It's fairly inexpensive (compared to another pro sport that is hugely popular in this city), and it's a lot of fun. Baseball always makes me think of little kids and their heros, which is a nice thing. The Skydome is a good place to watch a game cuz you're gonna get decent seats for a good price. You can get really cheap seats if you like, but you're gonna be in the nosebleed section. Sure you're gonna pay $6 for a hotdog and probably another $8 for a small beer, but you don't have to worry about rain delays (they keep the roof closed on days when it's supposed to rain).

Toronto's Skydome

In the shadow of the CN Tower, Toronto's Skydome has a retractable roof , which allows it to serve as either a domed or open-air stadium depending on weather conditions. It is the home to the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball. Offering more than sports viewing, the Skydome also has a built-in hotel with rooms that overlook the field. In fact, one time baseball fans were quite distracted from the game as two people decided to engage in sexual activity in their room -- and in plain view of thousands! The Skydome also boasts a Hard Rock Cafe, which has giant picture windows that overlook the field. A meal here can cost a lot more than it normally would when a game is going on.

Address: Harbourfront

Of course we got cheep
seats :)

On this night there was a Baseball game on and so a group of us got together and headed over to the Rodgers Centre. I expected a bigger crowd - most of the huge stadium was empty. I can't say I was taken by the whole thing - even though it was the NY Yankees vs the Jets (I think that's what their called)

Rogers Centre

One of my fondest memories was when my father took me to see a baseball game at what was then called the Skydome. Along with the baseball stadium, the Rogers Centre features three restaurants, an intimate theatre, a concert hall, and Renaissance hotel. Though during my youth it was the baseball stadium with the retractable roof that really attracted fans. There are tours of the facilities that are about a hour long and cost $12.50 Canadian for adults and less for seniors, youth, and children. If baseball (Toronto Blue Jays) isn't your thing don't worry, the centre hosts tons of other events that might be to your liking. Most notably they host a couple of football (soccer) friendlies a year, and the centre is the home to the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.

Address: 1 Blue Jays Way, Toronto, ON, CANADA M5V 1J3

Phone: +1-416-3411000

Directions: At the corner of Front and John Streets, west of the CN Tower, Rogers Centre is just a short walk from Union Station (subway and train station).

The roof is coming on

Rogers Centre is home of the Blue Jays (Toronto's Baseball Team and winners of back to back World Series of 1993 and 1994) and of Argonauts (Toronto's Football Team of the Canadian Football League). Besides, it hosts music concerts and cultural events. Rogers Centre is one of the most beautiful stadiums in North America. When its' roof is off, one can have a beautiful view of the CN Tower and its changing colour formations. The Centre is located next to the CN Centre and tourists can actually kill two stones with a single stone. We love Rogers Centre, perhaps because we are used to visiting it thanks to the Argonauts. The only problem is parking. There are 3 big parking lots in the vicinity, but they can get filled up quickly on 'special events night' at the time Toronto Maple Leafs are playing in the nearby Air Canada Centre. For parking, we tend to go south on Bay Street and find cheaper parking near Queens Quay.
