For a building in such a prominent location, and soon to become one of the tallest in the country, it's a shame how very ugly it is.

I don't think there are any immediate plans. That parking lot is enormous... stretches all the way from Front/Spadina to Blue Jays Way/Wellington. There were signs up years ago saying an application was in place for a 4 building complex or something like that.. but never went anywhere. I think...

Does anyone have any pictures from when the building was first completed? It would be interesting to compare the new cladding to how it looked back then (when the marble slabs were all shiny and consistent)

In person, hard as I try, I can't see the "minty green" or blue hues that you guys are talking about. All I see is white.

Actually they've been drilling for a week or two now

Should be done by late this afternoon sometime.

I think it's the exact opposite actually. It's amazing that they managed to get so many people in there at such high prices, with such a crappy team playing. I don't think anyone doubts that a full-time NFL team in Toronto would be anything but a huge success.

Care to provide some references of "everything you've read". Because literally everything I've read suggests interest in Toronto. Toronto has been specifically mentioned many times when talking about NFL expansion outside the US... and this was long before the Bills in Toronto series started...

You gotta be kidding me. I actually went to Fenway back around that time and it was relatively DEAD. When your team sucks (as Boston did back then), there's no reason to cheer and get excited. Whereas the atmosphere in the skydome back in those days was absolutely electric. Actually the last...

Based on what exactly? It just comes down to dollars. If Rogers can offer them more for a game than they would make having it there, I don't see why they wouldn't accept. Considering we played 17 out of 28 games in August against TB NYY and BOS (ie 3 of the best.. if not THE best teams in the...

am I the only one who get a chuckle out of all this? good old USA... throw some crazy christians together with some crazy muslims and sit back with the popcorn.

Hmm... so they weren't taking down the sales centre... they were just recladding it in brick. Scaffolding is starting to come down now and it looks like they are nearly finished. Seems like a lot of effort for a sales centre...

They've figured out how to be competitive in the long run. Our farm system has gone from being ranked 2nd-last in the league to the top 5. We have a SOLID starting rotation and a lot of young guys with potential. We'd probably be in a playoff spot in most other divisions in the league... when...

lol... Rogers is a "successful, multibillion [dollar] corporation" in the field of telecommunications. They have no clue what they are doing with sports. Took them a decade to get things finally figured out with the Jays.

oooh the lantern at the top is flickering with light... i'll post some pics edit: here they are: Looks a lot better in person than it does in the pictures. That plus it's still quite bright outside...

Yup... same goes for the Yanks. They were averaging 20,000 fans a season back in the early 90s when we were averaging 50,000. It all comes down to winning. And fortunately for us the Jays are on the right track. It's only a matter of time before things come full circle again. As for the...

The ONLY reason for that is because it's tiny (I believe the smallest park in all of MLB), and because it's ALWAYS full. Go back to 1990-1994 when the dome was packed with 50,000 people every single night and tell me the atmosphere at Fenway was any better.

What is all this nonsense about the Rogers Centre being a bad baseball venue? I'm a huge Jays fan, and I've been to several other MLB stadiums around the league. The Rogers Centre is just fine IMO. The sightlines are good (amazingly even up in the 500s the views aren't bad), the roof is...
