Rogers Centre in downtown Toronto opened in 1989 and was one of the engineering marvels of its era — the world's largest retractable roof at the time, covering a multi-purpose stadium that also hosts the CFL's Argonauts and major concerts. It holds around 49,000-53,500 for baseball depending on configuration. The artificial turf and cavernous dome interior give it a feel unlike almost anywhere else in MLB, which is either a charm or a drawback depending on your perspective.
The location is genuinely excellent — Rogers Centre sits in the heart of downtown Toronto's Entertainment District, steps from the CN Tower and within easy walking distance of the waterfront, restaurants, and hotels along King and Front Streets. Union Station transit hub is a short walk away, connecting subway, GO Transit, and UP Express to the airport. Toronto's downtown is one of the most vibrant in North America, and a Blue Jays game is a natural anchor for a day in the city.
Billy Bishop (YTZ) is 3 miles away across the harbour. Rideshare or taxi runs $15-25 CAD. From Pearson (YYZ), the UP Express reaches Union Station in 25 minutes, then a 10-minute walk to Rogers Centre.
Accessible parking is in the Convention Centre parkade and nearby lots. Accessible drop-off is on Rees St near Gate 10. Contact the Blue Jays at (416) 341-1000 or bluejays.com/accessibility.
Downtown garages, including the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, surround the stadium. Rates are steep at $25-45 CAD. The TTC subway and GO Transit make driving optional.
No tailgating at this downtown dome. Entertainment District bars along King St W and Front St fill up pre-game. The CN Tower and waterfront are worth arriving early for.
Union Station is an 8-minute walk from Rogers Centre. TTC subway Line 1, all GO Transit regional rail lines and the UP Express from Pearson converge there.
Rogers Centre is in the Entertainment District, walkable from King West, the CN Tower and the Harbourfront. From anywhere downtown it is an easy walk.
Bike parking is near Rogers Centre. Bike lanes and the waterfront trail connect from King West, Queen West and the waterfront.
Plastic bottles or cans of non-alcoholic drinks, 600ml or less. You may be asked to remove tops. No glass or outside alcohol.
Outside food is allowed if wrapped, bagged or in a soft-sided container within the bag policy size limits.
Soft-sided bags up to 16" x 16" x 8", including small purses and knapsacks. No backpacks or hard-sided coolers. Medical and diaper bags allowed.
Rogers Centre is a retractable-roof dome, so the experience changes with the roof. The 100 Level behind home plate is the closest view and the premium choice either way. The Blue Jays dugout is on the first base side. With the roof open, the skyline view makes it feel like a different park.
The 200 Level is a step down in price from the 100 Level, with clean mid-infield sightlines. It is climate-controlled with the roof closed. A good value, especially on weeknights when 100 Level prices spike.
Skip the 500 Level corners: steep, distant and at poor angles. The 500 Level mid-infield is reasonable. Rogers Centre uses artificial turf year-round, and upper sections can feel enclosed.
The roof opens for some summer games, and then the right field/first base side gets the most afternoon sun. It is closed for many games even in summer due to rain, cold or scheduling. When closed, sun and shade don't matter.
The dome makes baseball viable in any weather, like retractable-roof parks in Miami and Houston. April and May games can be cold. Summer games with the roof open are pleasant. Rain is a factor all season, but you will get nine innings.
Section 109 - Food court with sandwiches, salads, and vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Jr. Jays is the free fan club for kids under 14. Saturdays are Jr. Jays Days with kid activities and running the bases after the game. On Sundays, children under 14 can also run the bases post-game.
The Jays Shop is MLB's largest team store. Peanut Controlled Zone seating (200 level, right field) is offered on select dates for nut allergies. Book through the ticket office, not standard sales.
Nursing: Family washrooms and nursing stations at sections 134, 238 and 539. Only a couple per level, so expect a possible wait.
Tip: "Misplaced Ace" gives kids a wristband with their section/seat number. Register at Guest Services at the start of the game.
Booster seats: Free from Guest Services for toddlers.
In the Stands offers apparel for fans who enjoy visiting ballparks and stadiums. While we all have our favorite teams, there are times when they aren't the ones playing. Our goal is to create a sense of community and camaraderie whenever you see someone wearing In the Stands apparel.
