Rogers Centre

Rogers Centre is a multi-purpose stadium on the Toronto waterfront in Ontario, Canada, opened in 1989 (originally called SkyDome) and noted for its fully retractable roof. It serves as the home ballpark of the Toronto Blue Jays and hosts concerts, exhibitions and other large events.

The venue includes a main seating bowl, hospitality and concession areas, and event support facilities; configurations are adjusted depending on whether the event is baseball, concerts or other sports. The stadium’s roof and location next to the CN Tower make it a prominent downtown landmark.

Built to provide an all-weather venue for professional sport and large events, the stadium has been in continuous use since opening and has undergone upgrades to seating, technology and guest amenities. It forms part of Toronto’s entertainment district and connects directly with public transit and nearby attractions.

Rogers Centre sits on Bremner Boulevard in downtown Toronto, Ontario, immediately adjacent to the CN Tower and within walking distance of Union Station and the harbourfront.
