I will be eating that burger.


To support the Blue Jays. Yes, that's it.

Although I'm not going to the game, I'm rocking my jersey at work today in support. Business casual be damned.

1st page real estate!

excited about home opener, can't wait to see the new renovations in person

OPEN THE DOME

OLD




NEW

Is it just me, or are those folding chairs for the opposing bullpen pretty close to the line of fire for the warmup area? Not sure I'd want to be sitting there with 100mph whiffing by my back a foot or two away.

Can't wait. I wish the bobblehead giveaway was today though. They're playing with us a damn magnetic calendar for opening day!?

wait, and the light up wrist-band.

Interested to see if the renovations will help the team's HR rate as many are predicting.

i gave up my seats today as I can only go to a handful and calculated weeknight games. I am going to tomorrow's game though. took a a half day.

its going to apply for every team. esp when Berrios and Kikuchi are pitching. opposing players (as well as Blue Jays) are going to have career games at Rogers Center

Is it just me or do those bullpens look like they're maybe about 2 rows of seats too narrow? It's a little claustrophobic to me.

ya they look small. where do the pitchers sit when they aren't warming up?

seats at top and field level bench






;t=123s

I'm so hyped for this game. Get to see Fred McGriff throw the opening pitch!

It's gonna be a great game. I wish they had better opening day swag, but it's not like they need the help selling out today.

No kidding. And the way we see them there, they are pushed right up the the rail. For any legroom, they'll have to move back a couple feet.

Those seats (at the actual bullpen) will likely only be used at the start of the game and when no pitchers are warming up. Once the relivers are ready to start throwing they can move to the field level.
