The Toronto Blue Jays offered a glimpse of Rogers Centre renovations today.
TORONTO - Fans taking in a Toronto Blue Jays game at Rogers Centre this spring will have an entirely new experience.
“One is bringing the city into the ballpark,” said Karunaratne, standing on protective plates covering the third-base line. “The second is bringing fans closer to the action and also focusing on diversifying the sets of experiences that we offer in the ballpark. “As much as we loved our old building, there really was a blue sea of blue seats,” said Marnie Starkman, executive vice-president of baseball operations, while standing in the 500s by the only section that has had its new seats installed.
On the 100 level in centre field, behind the batter’s eye, will be a bar area called The Stop. When Rogers Centre was first designed in the 1980s it was supposed to have a transit station in the stadium’s north end. Although those plans fell by the wayside, the name will persist as a bar that showcases the many different neighbourhoods that Toronto’s transit system runs through
Finally, over left field will be Park Social, a family-oriented two-tier area designed to replicate sitting in one of the city’s many parks.
