Toronto Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

An interesting idea is, I wish they would put statues outside the stadium. Something similar to what the Leafs did.

At least give something outside to glance at or walk around ( like a museum ) to view. For visitors to recognize the historical facts and the identical facts of who the Blue Jays are.

U can have both, this inside the stadium with a blueish tone

And this on the outside of the stadium, it could be just the players or great l moments of Blue Jays history like George Bell catching the final out fast get the blue jays in the playoffs for the first time

I wonder what they're doing here? Anyone have any ideas?

Looks to be the home plate area? The 100 level seats used to be on two giant rails that allowed them to split open for football mode. Those seats are gone and the rail mechanism is likely being dug up as well.

Also those new seats would need footings to be dug. And the premium spaces behind the dugouts and home plate need to be built as well

Both ideas are great. The special moments of statues of the players out side would be amazing. For those old and new embracing that historic moment. I think it would give Rogers a special feeling every time you visit the ballpark.

Looks to be the foul territory area beside the Blue Jays bullpen - you can see the elevated bullpen in the bottom right of the photo.

Just my guess - extending some infrastructure to accommodate the new clubs underneath the new 100 level, and what ever team facility upgrades are being done.

Definitely digging to accommodate the new clubs/lounges but I'm thinking the new lower bowl will lie deeper into the ground to allow for a steeper incline than the original rotating bowl did.

That would have to involve digging up the entire floor. And making it significantly deeper would mean that more of the field would sink below the view of people sitting in parts of the 500 level.
