Several poutines, several hot dog.sausages options.

This is a particularly particularly unique sausage option, if you and some friends would like to go for a ride…

200 Level Changes:
Welcome to a somewhat revamped WestJet Flight Deck.

The view from WestJet over the Visitor's Bullpen (and you can see people in The Catch Bar area closer to it. Schneiders' Porch is right past it).

Just past The FlightDeck is SportsNet's Blue Jays Central studio.

500 Level Changes.
Park Social is the most family-oriented of all the areas. There are a number of games for kids to play here, nearly none of which I got photos.

Not swings. Seen in the background above, close-up below. Istagramable.

Grilled cheese sanmmiches. Reports are they were delish.

Play baseball games at the baseball game!

Along with The Catch Bar area, I liked the Corona Rooftop Patio area the best. The frozen margs up here are good.

I think the $20 no-seat Outfield District general admission tickets will be a big hit. You can visit any of these places if you've paid for a seat to go back to, but you can also just do the cheap route and wander from spot to spot, and find places to pull up to a standing bar table, or there are assorting seating options at most of the areas as well which you might have for a while, first come, first served, and until you wander over to another counter or game or wherever…

It will be interesting to see how this all comes off over the season!

Finally, a view from the 300 Level Press Box after the tour as we put the story together

…and oops, I suppose someone leaned against the wall and accidentally hit a switch…

(The lights were off for all of ten seconds!)

I'm really not sure how that would look. Honestly, it doesn't look too great in the Rangers ball park.

In Japan, the Ham Fighters opted for a large window, which at least brings in natural light

So that's always been the bigger issue with the Skydome as opposed to some sort of translucent roof. It's the fact the all walls are way too high especially in the outfield.

We do get some hints, though, just going by the renderings

It's interesting that they show the area below the 100 level seats being occupied, as this is currently used for building operations and is off limits to the fans. It looks like it will be another gathering area, however my concern is that the views will only be of the outfield and bullpen areas.

it might be part of some sort of platinum box wiht underground suites similar to what ScotiaBank arena has. who knows until the new renos are unveiled.

The view of the hotel was gone would be of a RBC building. If you wanted some light it would have had to come from the first base line which looks out to the park or behind home plate which leads to the waterfront.

How would you get natural light to flow through the grandstands and pressbox? Even Fenway park has shadows cast by the main grandstand.
 
Yeah, there's a fair amount of space between the stadium and the nearest buildings, because of the rail corridor. I don't think there's any way they're opening the north facade butobstrcuted views and/or sunlight wouldn't be an issue, especially to the north where the sunlight is indirect, anyway. Even in an afternoon day game, you're not getting harsh light/shadows from the north.
