Edit - deleted my reply because Jago above said pretty much exactly what I said while I was looking for a link 😂

While the teams do have some say in roof status, this isn't the reason why it's closed this time of year (barring higher temperatures and earlier testing). It's because if they open it and the temperature suddenly drops they run the risk of not being able to close it and damaging the mechanisms...

Looking forward to this whole area being greener soon!

They probably can't show highlights due to broadcast rights. They do however regularly give score updates on other Toronto teams' playoff games when they're happening between innings. This has been discussed earlier in the thread, but grass is enormously resource-intensive and sucks up vast...

Grabbed a quick shot this afternoon from the 30th floor of the Telus building. Thought some of you might like the view!

I believe the translucent roof panel problem was already talked about much earlier in this discussion, but for reference, here's some info on why they don't use them: https://groovyhistory.com/houston-astrodome "At first the team played on grass, utilizing the translucent panels to keep the...

Structurally the building is in good shape and the location is ideal, but as someone who has worked there multiple seasons I have to mention that many of the behind-the-scenes areas of the stadium that are not customer facing are in poor shape with "leaky pipes and weird mouldy corners" 😂...

I'm sure others have made this comparison, but every time I ride by these unfinished entranceways, I'm reminded of the monolithic buildings in the movie Brazil 😂

I think I was there shortly after you! Got some nice shots as the sun was beginning to set.

I understand the heat issue just fine of course, but what I'm saying is that there's no real reason to undergo the massive expense of switching to grass and dealing with the drainage and water-wasting issues when the reason in favour of grass is really based on feelings and nostalgia while...

The Diamondbacks and Marlins also play on turf: http://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/sports/artificial-turf Aside from the drainage issue, grass consumes an enormous amount of water and is extremely resource-intensive for upkeep.

I think you beat me by about an hour! I took identical photos, and a couple more through spaces between locked doors. Looking east from the top of the stairs after having entered via the TTC connection Another one looking north from near arena entrance Looking west from one of the closed...

Rode by and snapped a couple photos of the lack of barricades! 😁

Long time UT reader, first time poster... just popped in to say these barricades were gone when I cycled through Maple Leafe Square last week. Was pleasantly surprised.
