Rogers Centre

1 Blue Jays Way, Toronto, Ontario

Located in downtown Toronto at the base of the CN Tower, the Rogers Centre is a sports and entertainment complex that is home to the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team. The Rogers Centre is a great place to catch a Major League Baseball (MLB) game or other event held under its fully retractable roof—the first of its kind in the world.

The Rogers Centre stadium, which contains close to 50,000 seats, is most often used for Blue Jays games, but also hosts concerts, conventions, and other events. More than 30 food and beverage concession booths are spread across four seating levels. From the stadium, visitors also enjoy unobstructed views of the CN Tower.

Blue Jays Stadium tours, typically offered from March to September, provide an inside perspective on the stadium’s history, architecture, and operations. Private tours of downtown Toronto often allow visitors to tack a Rogers Centre stop onto the day’s customized itinerary. Helicopter tours offer rare bird’s-eye views, while boat tours provide a snapshot of the Rogers Centre against the backdrop of the Toronto Harborfront. Hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour buses also stop nearby.

  • On-site restaurants, cafés, and food carts include gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, halal, and kosher options.

  • Download the MLB Ballpark app for convenient mobile check-in, rewards, and exclusive offers.

  • Use the Virtual Venue tool on the Rogers Centre website to preview the views of the field from each seating section.

  • Accessible seating is located at the top of each seating section and can be reserved online or by phone.

  • The stadium offers designated family-friendly, alcohol-free sections.

Located in the heart of Toronto’s entertainment district, the Rogers Centre is easily accessible via public transit. The nearest stops are Blue Jays Way and Front Street West on bus 121A, and King Street and Blue Jays Way on streetcar 504. The stadium is also an 8-minute walk from Union Station on subway line 1. Bicycle stands are available outside most stadium gates.

The Rogers Centre is open during baseball season (February to September) from 10am to 7pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm weekends, and on game days from 9am to 30 minutes after the game ends. On Jr. Jays Sundays, children under age 14 are invited to run the bases post-game.

A little-known secret about the Rogers Centre is the West Jet Flight Deck, a standing-room-only section available to all ticket holders. With optimal views from the 200 level of the stadium, guests can watch the game, order food, and relax in comfort under the video board. Make sure to get there early, as the Flight Deck’s capacity is limited.

Yes, you can take a guided tour of Toronto’s Rogers Centre. Behind-the-scenes tours of Canada’s only Major League Baseball stadium show you how events are set up, where the media gather, and provide commentary on the center’s architectural innovation and importance to Canadian baseball. You can buy same-day tickets from the Jays Shop.

According to the engineering manager of the Rogers Centre, it doesn’t cost much to open the retractable dome at the stadium: only around CA$10. The roof is sometimes left closed because of climate control and weather, but not because it’s too expensive to open.

After renovations that shrank its capacity, Toronto’s Rogers Center can now seat around 46,000 people for baseball games. When it hosts concerts, the stadium changes configuration to optimize the concert-viewing experience and can seat 5,000-25,000 people.

Tickets for the Rogers Centre vary depending on the event and the seat. Tickets towards the back can be as low as C$22, whereas the average cost for a live event is around C$465. Tickets for a Blue Jays game start at C$7 but are within the C$15–25 range.

No, you can’t buy tickets for Blue Jays games or concerts at the Rogers Centre at the gate or the box office. You can only buy them online. The box office only provides support for ticket holders on game or event days. The Rogers Centre also doesn’t accept cash and only takes card or contactless payment.

No, the Rogers Centre only accepts cashless payment types and no longer accepts cash. There are no ATMs in the center, but there are “reverse ATMs” (where you deposit cash that’s then loaded onto a debit card) in sections 112 inside the Jays Shop, 136, and 508.
