28 h. ago When will the Rogers Centre's dome be open for Toronto Blue Jays games?

It could be said that there are two unofficial Opening Days for Toronto Blue Jays games.Of course, there's the actual Opening Day, where Toronto plays their first home regular season game of the year, usually in March when temperatures are still hovering around zero.And then, somewhere between four and eight weeks later, there's the second, perhaps more anticipated, Opening Day, where the Rogers Centre roof is opened for the first time each season.Famously known as the world's first retractable roof on a sporting venue when it opened in 1989, the Rogers Centre's precipitation control mechanism may not be as awe-inspiring as it once was.But it's still a staple of Toronto culture, and could be making its debut this week. While Toronto has already seen two of its road games this season be delayed and eventually postponed by inclement weather, that hasn't been a problem in Toronto for most of the franchise's history.Sportsnet's Joe Siddall was among those...

6 d. ago How Toronto's Rogers Centre transforms from baseball to concert mode

Ever wonder how the Rogers Centre in Toronto changes over from baseball to concert mode?Rogers Centre has undergone quite the transformation since the Toronto Blue Jays last played there on Sunday afternoon.With a pair of Metallica concerts set for Thursday and Friday, staff got right to work after the game.Preparing for any type of concert at a sports venue is no easy feat, especially when it's for a group that puts on a show to the level of Metallica. Staff worked through the night, per Metallica photographer Jeff Yeager, transforming the ballpark into a rock venue from 4:36 p.m. Sunday night to 6 a.m. Monday morning.The work was far from done at that point. After the grounds were covered, towers needed to be installed for the upcoming shows, while other big pieces, including the stage, had to be brought into Rogers Centre."Tower build took [until] 8 a.m. [Tuesday]," Yeager wrote on Instagram. "Now, the stage, audio, and video (and everything else!) is being loa...
