  • Rogers Centre has a retractable roof.
  • The Blue Jays have played at Rogers Centre since 1989.
  • The stadium was called “SkyDome” from 1989 until 2005.

Differences between ballparks are a factor that must be considered when weighing the MLB betting markets. Whether a game is played indoors or outdoors can have a major impact on the game.  

Do the Toronto Blue Jays Play in a Covered Stadium?

The Toronto Blue Jays have a retractable roof on their stadium. This means that a choice can be made whether games are played indoors or outdoors. When the roof is open, people at the top of the CN Tower can look down onto the field.

Rogers Centre was the first major sports team venue in North America to have a fully retractable roof. 

It takes 20 minutes for the roof to open or close. 

What Is the Name of the Blue Jays Stadium?

The Toronto Blue Jays’ stadium is called Rogers Centre. It was called the “SkyDome” from 1989 until 2005.

Before the SkyDome became the Jays’ home, the answer to where the Blue Jays played was the Canadian National Exhibition Stadium. This was commonly known as “CNE Stadium” or “The Ex”. 

The 2020 season was the only campaign since 1989 that the Jays did not play at Rogers Centre. Their home games were at Sahlen Field in Buffalo. 

How Many Fans Does Blue Jays Stadium Have?

The Blue Jays’ stadium has a capacity of 39,150 for baseball. Concerts can have up to 55,000 fans. 

The Jays’ highest average attendance was 50,098 for the 1993 season. Their second-highest average was the year before. They won the World Series in each of those campaigns. 

Toronto’s lowest average attendance (other than 2020 and 2021) was 14,247 in 1981. Three American League teams had lower attendance figures that year with the midseason strike undoubtedly having an impact. 

What Is the Average Price of a Blue Jays Ticket?

The average price of a Blue Jays ticket in 2023 was $32.24 US dollars ($44.64 CAD). 

According to Statista, the Jays ranked in the middle of the pack in average ticket price in 2023. The Los Angeles Dodgers had the highest average price, and the Miami Marlins had the cheapest tickets.
