Between the 3 newest ones the Rangers are the only ones who planned to have artificial turf. Miami's stadium is just a disaster and they had to give up on grass. Barely 10 years old and already considered one of the worst in the majors. Diamondbacks are trying to scam their way to a new...

They are doing some minor renovations. There will be a new scoreboard at the Rogers Centre next season, but the future of the Blue Jays’ longtime home is still to be determined. Mark Shapiro, the Jays’ president and CEO, announced at Monday’s year-end availability that short-term improvements...

Isn't the whole point of owning a sports team (other then ego) that its valuation greatly increases because of the scarcity of teams. Pegula outbid MLSE/Bon Jovi group and Donald Trump for the Bills for 1.4 billion in 2014. The team is now worth 2.27 billion according to Forbes. Least...

Ed Rogers has been in charge of the Blue Jays for a while now. He pissed off the Toronto media and the owners of the White Sox and Orioles by trying to dump Beeston a year early when he tried to poach Kenny Williams or Dan Duquette in 2014. It is one of the reasons the Toronto media was so...

Rogers Centre isn't a hitters ballpark. It is actually fairly neutral. The Blue Jays just have had better hitting then pitching for a while now and it is the same for most AL East teams. Why can't they push the fences back? They could just move the bullpens to CF since I would imagine they...

Opening round of MLS playoffs always has terrible attendance. Hell most teams draw better in the regular season then the playoffs. It is what it is. A combination of casual fans only wanting to go to games when it is warm and the fact that MLS playoffs aren't that big of a deal yet.

Blue Jays drafted Sanchez out of high school in 2010 since then he has pitched: 25 innings in 2010 54.1 innings in 2011 90.1 innings in 2012 86.1 innings in 2013 133.1 innings in 2014 100 innings in 2015 So far this year he has pitched 139.1 innings and it is only August. To pitch a full...

Halladay was a borderline Hall of Famer so that is setting the bar way too high for Sanchez. Aaron Sanchez is by far the most valuable asset the Blue Jays have in the entire organisation. He won't be eligible for arbitration until 2018. He won't be a free agent until 2021. Simply they are...

1. The whole reason the Blue Jays traded for Revere last year was because Michael Saunders was not able to come back from his knee injury last year and Chris Colabello had been an absolutely terrible defensive LF. They would have had to get rid of one of Revere or Saunders in the offseason...

How is it a bullet dodged? It is not like the Rockies didn't know Reyes was bad when they made the trade. The trade was more for them to get rid of Tulos contract and get one great prospect and one good prospect back for it. If anything this is like the best case scenario for them. Reyes...

People don't seem to understand that the whole outdoor game gimmick is for the US and not Canada. Even with their centennial year and talking about hosting the Winter Classic since 2013 they had to settle for the Centennial Classic. Another thing people don't seem to understand is that the...

Same thing every other baseball or soccer stadium does and lay out some protective covering over the grass. Roger Centre doesn't really host anything that other baseball, football or soccer stadiums don't host as well.

For sure, no team that has dynamic pricing will sell their tickets for less than what a season holder would pay for that game. Would it change buying habits? That I can't say for sure but again every other team has jumped on the dynamic pricing bandwagon, so I have to imagine it is making...

Would you make less money? You got to remember a giant chunk of tickets are sold in the offseason. Dynamic pricing is more to get people to buy tickets near gameday from the box office instead of say stubhub or scalpers. In the offseason they can sell a August night game against the Twins for...

Yeah what the Jays have is not dynamic ticket pricing, they just have tiers of pricing which are unchanging. Dynamic pricing lets you change the price at real time depending on demand for tickets. Tickets can be 17 dollars one day and 25 dollars the next depending on sales. Most teams don't...

Grass was never going to happen. It is such a colossal undertaking and I just don't see how you can justify the cost. The minute Beeston started talking about 200-400 million dollars for renovations you should have known it was BS. Who would spend that much money to renovate such an outdated...

3C is sill happening? There hasn't been much news about that in a long time.

Uh what do you mean no one can explain why the attendance is weak? Maybe that 21 year playoff drought, worst in all of the big 4 might explain things? Who wants to watch a team that not only have missed the playoffs 21 years straight but haven't even been in a playoff race since 1993, who...

Canadian sports coverage is pretty terrible for anything that isn't hockey or the CFL. I mean I personally think ESPN has kind of become a joke with their loud mouth personalities but even then they still employ some of the best baseball, basketball and NFL reporters. I mean look at the...

Most Jays fans are in the I will believe it when I see it when it comes to the grass. I don't know why Rogers doesn't just ride it out and start planning for a new Park sometime next decade. The hardest part would be finding a location that is close to as good as their current location...
