I don't see why they need to relocate
Thanks for posting this, I’ll be going to SkyDome this Friday! I’ll relay your message to anyone willing to listen😉
Joe Carter was the 2nd home run to win a world series…look up 1960 Bill Mazeroski
Bill Mazeroski’s 1960 World Series game seven walk off would like a word…
I hope to see Rogers Center one day
CORRECTION: Joe Carter's walk-off home run was the only ever come-from-behind HR to clinch the world series
I feel like the Sky Dome should be their forever home
It will be sad to see Rogers Centre no longer part of the Toronto skyline, but I’m excited to see what comes next. Great video!!🫶
You should do a video on the Ottawa Senators search for a new arena and the current one
Rogers Centre is in such a convenient location, that’s the hard part
Remember, SkyDome was built by Ontario taxpayers for $500M, stolen by Rogers for $25M.
there are no places to poo. no toilets
The land in Toronto is so expensive. Probably won’t get a stadium for decades
‘It’s never a trouble getting to games’
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I was just in Toronto
What about Mazeroski’s walk off in 1960?
Joe Carter's homer was the second walkoff homer in World Series history. Bill Mazeroski hit one in game 7 of the 1960 series to win it for the Pirates.
Only if Blackrock's Vanguard guys allow them to move, then they will move. Acquiring land isn't going to be an easy thing for at least another 40 years…until all the massive population decline decimates the world's population.
The best part of Roger's Centre is its central location. Unless Toronto builds up a second central hub location by the Port Lands or along Harbourfront, moving anywhere else in the city would be a downgrade.
The renovations buy probably 10 years to come up with a new stadium plan. I don't want to see the Jays leave SkyDome, er, Rogers Centre, but everything has a shelf life and the building itself has likely 15 years left. So by the early to mid 2030s, I expect there to be plans for a new stadium ready to go and the team to be playing in it by 2040. And that would be very nice, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the stadium in its final year.
What happened to staying in a ballpark for more than 30 years? Fenway and Wrigley have "charm" from what would be unforgivable flaws in a new stadium
The modern age of disposable stadiums is a travesty – the Skydome is monumental architecture and deserves the love and care not afforded to other old ballparks across the decades. It’s still a great place to catch a game!
You forgot about the renovations they had to do when a 50ft giant red panda almost destroyed the facility back in 2002.
(If anyone gets that reference, more power to you)
Are you there to watch a game or just there to take pics
I like the updates they did. Only thing left is to update the hotel there.
Waste of money building a new stadium every 20 years. Typical american 💩
Does it still have a Hotel inside the stadium?
Move the blue jays to Buffalo.
15 to 25 year left
Look, I understand that the Blue Jays have never been in a traditional ballpark complete with natural grass and the kinds of features you see elsewhere around baseball except obviously Tropicana Field, but Rogers Centre just got a significant renovation over the past 2 years as mentioned in your video.
I just don't see the Blue Jays leaving that venue for a long time. I don't know what future facility would set a new standard in ballparks as SkyDome did when it opened back in 1989. Even more so with all the hurdles to clear just to finalize a plan let alone build a replacement. New York City is the worst when it comes how incredibly slow it takes to build large scale projects. I won't be surprised if it takes 20 years before we could see the Jays in a new ballpark.
I’ve never once thought that the multi-purpose design detracted from the experience at all. It’s nostalgic, I don’t think it’s outdated enough yet to justify rebuilding it or moving elsewhere.
As a Toronto local, I don’t care how bad it is, it’s too iconic to go
The Irony in this video title and the fact that M. Night Shyamalan's new movie "Trap" was filmed at rogers centre 🤷♂️😂
I've never been to Toronto but I hope that if the Red Sox, Dodgers and Cubs can make their stadiums work then why can't the Blue Jays. Dodger Stadium doesn't have that neighborhood district around it yet it stays the place to be for L.A. baseball fans. I live in L.A. so I know this to be true. The Sky Dome (Roger Centre) is just fine.
That was my dads favorite stadium
Haven't they been a bunch of upgrades? Why think of moving? With enough updates this stadium could be seen as a modern classic IMO.
I still liked it more when it was the Sky Dome
They will rebuild at place called Downsview Park, which is north within the city and would be a big change in Toronto sports culture. Other options, slighty east at the location you mentioned or rebuilding at the current location. They won't leave the city limits but if they do York Region or wherever the rail system is close & a subway line can be built.
