CityNews' Sports Reporter gives viewers a first look at the renovations inside the Rogers Centre that changed the dynamic of the field for the Jays and how fans see the game.
Only 2 more tasks….field a competitive team. And how they managed to spend $300 million and miss the opportunity to rebrand is beyond me. If you want it to be a ballpark, call it that. If it must have “Rogers” what is wrong with Rogers Skydome or Rogers Field or Rogers Park? Rogers Centre still sounds like a convention centre. Take a hint…there’s no Yankee Centre or Fenway Centre.
💯💯💯SPOT ON! I've been saying this for years. Roger's Center sounds so soulless. Call it the Roger's Skydome! I've suggested the exact same thing, they're not too bright over there at Rogers....
@@alphaofalphas8121 Teams use Center, Field, etc. so that it doesn't get shortened to eliminate the sponsor name. If they used Rogers Skydome still people and media would call it Skydome. They know exactly what they're doing.
OMG! That is my biggest pet peeve. How does an MLB team not understand the purpose of a dirt warning track? You're running for a fly ball, looking up at the ball, now you feel and hear that you are on DIRT, and you have only a few steps before you hit a wall. You would think safety would be of the most importance for million dollar players.
@@demarcdegasol i always have love the rangers my team because of Nolan Ryan even over 40 when he threw a no hitter in Toronto'. I like more trad ballparks inside and out and Toronto is more like a football stadium or something
Next please replace the roof panels with glass or polycarbonate panels to allow natural light in like Sofi .. can do this in stages 😊 ... and the bland concrete outside could use a stylish blue and clear mirrored mosaic artwork that glistens like a jewel box 😊
I thought they were going to put in real foul poles now instead of those silly foul nets. I guess the budget for a “real ballpark” only goes so far. Maybe incorporate some of those savings into someone who can hit! Also, it’s not truly a real ballpark with the silly brown astroturf warning track. Why not put in proper cinders? If they are worried about player safety, the purpose of the warning track is to “warn” you when you are getting too close to the wall. If you are looking up at a fly ball, you can’t see the brown astroturf, but you would be able to feel the different cinder gravel surface. Mind boggling they are missing these details…then again they forgot they needed hitters.
Less seats mean higher ticket prices especially on the secondary market down to 40k. Seats.) Prices high for food and drinks except on hot dog Tuesdays'.
New seats, new look, higher prices!! Too watch the same old team going no where!! As a die hard fan lam hoping many fans do not show up! Maybe they would finally inject some money and talent into a winning Team …
Hey Marnie, if you were listening to your fans then why haven't you put a better team together. Seems like Rogers and Ross have forgotten that you need a competitive product. But hey this is Toronto, maybe you don't.
@@jamieadams21 The foods presented in this clip can easily be sold at BMO field as well. Why can't I order these foods at BMO field while watching the Argos or TFC?
@@CNSPORTZEDITZ to be fair BMO field is owned by the City but managed by MLSE which Rogers owns 37.5% of so its not out of the realm of possibility for some cross over concessions
Well I think the inside looks better but the reality is you could put all the money into this stadium but you can’t change the 1970s cookie cutter design which makes it third worst stadium in all of baseball. They need to look at building a retro park in the very new future.
