Toronto’s Rogers Centre will continue its $300 million renovation with the stadium’s 100-level seating bowl and structure, which will be fully demolished—from foul pole to foul pole—at the end of the 2023 season and rebuilt to contribute to the modernized baseball viewing experience of Blue Jays fans.
Key features of the new 100-level seating bowl include:
- Additional legroom, modern-shaped seats with slats on the back that provide more airflow, wider seats between the dugouts, cupholders throughout, adaptable raisable armrest options, and handrails in every aisle.
- Greater variety of seating, including different vantage points from new sections, accessible field level seats, plus the previously announced premium seating experiences.
- Designed specifically for watching baseball, with seats oriented toward the infield, improved sightlines with less obstruction, and new seats closer to the action because of the remodelled bowl structure.
In the remodelling, the foul territory will be reduced by approximately 279 m2 (3,000 sf) total, between the middle of the infield dirt (just past the bases), to before the warning track on both sides of the diamond.
On July 28, 2022, the Toronto Blue Jays announced a more than $300 million privately funded renovation, to be completed between 2024 and 2025. The firm, PCL Construction, was chosen as the partner for the entire project, while the global design firm, Populous, as the architect.
They cut the ribbon on the first phase of work on Apr. 6, 2023, unveiling a new Outfield District, featuring five distinct neighbourhoods and many additional new social spaces. The Outfield District first opened to fans at the Blue Jays Home Opener on Apr. 11, 2023.
On April 18, 2023, the Blue Jays announced the first projects taking place in the next phase of renovations: three new premium clubs located beneath a completely reimagined 100-level seating bowl, connected to the best seats in the ballpark, set for opening during the 2024 season.
Rogers Centre was conceptualized as a multi-purpose stadium when it opened in 1989 and had not previously undergone a large-scale renovation in its history.
“Our goal from the onset of renovations was to transform Rogers Centre from a stadium to a ballpark, and we are excited to build off the enthusiasm and popularity of the new Outfield District in this next phase of projects,” says Mark Shapiro, president and CEO, Toronto Blue Jays. “By completely rebuilding the 100-level seating bowl, we are introducing an authentic ballpark viewing experience, with sightlines designed specifically for fans to enjoy Blue Jays baseball.”
