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.

...Sydney called and they want their Opera House back.

To do something akin to this, the Jays/Rogers would have to remove the entirety of the existing hotel. That in of itself is probably a $300MM - $500MM project if you include installation of transparent paneling on the roof, compensating Marriott, demolition, and then reconstructing the outfield area/entrances.

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.

I've never understood the player strike argument as a reason to stop watching baseball. It's been 30 years. Furthermore, all ML sports saw an exponential rise in salaries and compensation during the 1990's, although comparatively, even today, it's far, far less than what ownership makes. That wasn't an MLB-specific phenomenon.

I am more than confident it will be covered by sponsorship like TD, presuming they're retaining the field/club level seats.

Ha. Yep, get ready for an enormous TD (lime) green wall stretching dugout to dugout... i get it, gotta pay the bills.

If in ten years the topic of a building a new stadium comes up again, five hundred million and being able to stay in the same location might be more palatable to Rogers than a billion dollars.

Well in 10 years that roof will cost 1 billion and a new outdoor stadium 2.5 billion. They’re never moving.

I definitely see the benefit of maintaining the existing location as opposed to the exponentially higher costs of constructing an entirely new facility elsewhere. A potential next phase should certainly focus on the exterior/outfield areas.
 
Looks like those behind the plate seats, will have a brick background to the wall. Kind of an interesting twist ( seeing thats what you'll see on tv). It reminds me of The Twins ballpark. Curious to see the final results.

I don't think there's any more to the background than what we're seeing. It's not going to be a brick, it looks more like concrete.
