Rogers Centre

Rogers Centre, originally named SkyDome, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Toronto, Canada. It is primarily used for baseball and Canadian football games, hosting the home games of the Toronto Blue Jays and sporadic games of the Toronto Argonauts, its owners.

Opened on 3 June 1989 with an exhibition match between the Toronto Blue Jays and Milwaukee Brewers, it replaced the original Exhibition Stadium, which had 54,254 seats. The seating capacity of the new stadium is currently set at 49,282 for baseball and 31,074 for football. The stadium was designed by Rod Robbie and Michael Allen and had a construction cost of C$570 million.

A multi-purpose stadium and one of the biggest stadiums by capacity in Canada, Rogers Centre is notable for being the first stadium to have a fully retractable motorized roof, as well as a 348-room hotel attached to it, with 70 rooms overlooking the field. It is also the last North American major-league stadium built to accommodate both football and baseball. The Rogers Centre has hosted a variety of sports and entertainment events, including concerts, large-scale conventions, soccer games, and WrestleMania VI and XVIII. It was elected the most impressive stadium of North America in a 2015 online poll by ESPN. By its thirtieth birthday, Rogers Centre had welcomed more than 60 million spectators. The stadium is one of the potential venues for the future MLB World Series, which the Toronto Blue Jays are potential contenders for.
