ROGERS CENTER
Home to the Toronto Blue Jays and a host of other events, the Rogers Centre has recently undergone extensive renovations, completely redesigning the 34-year-old stadium. The initial phase of renovations, carried out in the 2022-2023 off-season, focused on transforming the upper level into a communal space where fans can socialize while enjoying the game. During the recent 2023-2024 off-season, the stadium underwent further enhancements, this time targeting the lower bowl. The process involved excavating the field level, creating underground space for new player facilities, and a reduced foul territory bringing spectators closer to the action. The park will also introduce premium clubs that will set a new standard for ballpark amenities. These renovations promise an enriched viewing experience for baseball enthusiasts and are expected to extend the stadium's lifespan by 10-15 years.
