After a busy winter of work, the Toronto Blue Jays are ready to unveil the completed outfield renovations at the Rogers Centre.
Mark Shapiro, President and CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays, Edward Rogers, Chair of the Toronto Blue Jays and Chair of the Board of Rogers Communications, and Tony Staffieri, President and CEO of Rogers Communications, will officially introduce the renovated outfield at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday morning.

The renovations include the introduction of four outfield neighbourhoods:
- The Catch Bar, overlooking the new raised visitor’s bullpen.
- The Stop, a bar area in the batter’s eye.
- The Corona Rooftop Patio, a social area with no seats on the 500 level.
- Park Social, a family-oriented two-tier area designed to replicate sitting in one of the city’s many parks.
The renovations also include new outfield dimensions that will bring fans closer to the action at the outfield wall.
Fans will get their first chance to see the new renovations and amenities for themselves when the Blue Jays host the Detroit Tigers in the home opener on April 11.
Editor’s Note: One of the 30 MLB teams, the Toronto Blue Jays, is owned by Rogers Communications Inc., which also owns Sportsnet.
