2 d. ago Who decides if Rogers Centre roof opens for Toronto Blue Jays playoff games?

When the Toronto Blue Jays take to the field this Saturday for their first game of the playoffs, you can bet that it'll be quite the pop coming from the local crowd.It's been three years since the last time Toronto hosted a playoff game, and fans are eagerly anticipating how the American League East champions might fare this fall.But one of the biggest questions on everyone's minds is: will the game be played indoors or outdoors?The seven-day forecast from the Weather Network shows temperatures as high as 24°C on Saturday afternoon, which would conceivably be warm enough for an open roof for Toronto's first playoff game.But at the Rogers Centre, indoor playoff games have been the standard since its opening as the SkyDome way back in 1989.

Due to this, Loblaw said that crops like corn, soybeans, blueberries, and root vegetables were "stressed during critical growth phases," which in turn reduced yields, ...
