I wonder if improving the facilities, which I believe includes amenities for players, will make it easier to attract free agents/players on trade

Someone on Blue Jays Reddit, who's staying at hotel tonight, posted this. It's quite something that this was all done in a little over 4 month!

Seeing those pictures from reddit really shows how closer those seats are now to the diamond. What a difference a year makes. It's night and day.

I've seen several games in the Skydome, but haven't watched any (live or televised) since the player strike. So I guess I strongly agree.

The colour commentary is almost fitting for WWE wrestling than baseball here. To be fair though, the WWE does use the Roger's Dome on the occasion... <3

I was at Wrestlemania 18 way back in 2002. The last time WWE hosted an event there. Great times! Granted I was 12.
The new update especially the upper deck bars would be a rowdy place with a WWE crowd. Bring it back!

Can't wait to see it done... going April 9 vs. Seattle to check it out. Last year's renos were all about not watching the game. The new bars and food options were great, but felt like it was all for people who weren't there to watch the game. This year with the focus on seats and view of the game, baseball fans will get their turn to appreciate the big reno. Kudos to the Jays for a job well done.
Just so you all know, 31 posts from this thread have been deleted, and one of our members is now on spring training for a while for the frequent, repetitive nature of his posts that constitute trolling. I don't want to see any gloating over that in here, or those members will be sitting out for a while too.

Has this increased the capacity from last year, with so many seats sitting closer to the action?

I kind of wish the concrete wall seen above the (recliners?) was the same colour as the one in the top photo. Obviously they'll be washing that concrete, but it stands out a bit too much.

I’m assuming they’ll be painting the concrete or covering it with corporate logos. I hope they keep the logos on the discrete side kind of like what they did on the outfield walls with most of the logo in white vs. full colour. That’s what they do at Fenway and other classic parks and I always thought it made for a much nicer atmosphere. We’ll see…

Not Jays related but BIG won the competition to design the A's stadium in Vegas (if it ever happens)

While I know this is a primarily Rogers Centre thread, I thought I'd share these images released by the (soon to be) Las Vegas A's for a domed stadium:
I don't know what materials they plan to use, but it does make me wonder what could be done with the Rogers Centre should the Blue Jays decide to stay even longer.
