2 w. ago Rogers Centre beer is now more expensive than actual Blue Jays tickets

The Toronto Blue Jays returned to the Rogers Centre last week for their 2025 season, embracing a sold-out crowd of fans for the first time since last fall.But while Toronto was able to pack the stadium for the first game of the year, it might be a while before they're able to do it again.With a 3:07 p.m. first pitch set for Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals, the matchup is Toronto's first of six as part of the "Work From Dome" promotions, encouraging locals to pop out a few hours early from work and get down to the ballpark.At the time of writing, a pair of tickets for Wednesday afternoon's game against the Washington Nationals is going for as little as $10 each on StubHub, with fees included.And if you're looking to head to the ballpark and grab a drink along the way, you might even spend more on the beverage than getting in the ballpark.As part of the Dugout Deals sections 240 and 537, you can get a 12 oz/355 mL Budweiser/Bud Light for $6.49 during all games this s...

3 w. ago Toronto Blue Jays quietly hike prices on cheapest beer at Rogers Centre

If you check out a Toronto Blue Jays game this season, there's a pretty good chance you also might be buying something to eat or drink at the same time.And while most of the vendors around the ballpark have a heavy markup on their products — particularly the alcoholic ones — there's a well-known way to get cheaper options at the Rogers Centre.Available on the 200 Level in section 240 and on the 500 Level in section 537, the Dugout Deals stands are much cheaper than other concession stands around the ballpark. While they might have long lines, it's far and away the most cost-effective spot to get food or drinks at the game.But while the prices are still better than you'll find anywhere else, the cost of beer has gone up a bit since the 2024 season. With the Jays returning to the ballpark this week to kick off their 2025 campaign, here's what the Dugout Deals menu looks like this year:12oz Bud / Bud Light – $6.49 (up from last year 5.79)Value Hot Dog – $3.49Val...

3 w. ago Rogers Centre exterior looks a bit different this Toronto Blue Jays season

For fans coming to the Toronto Blue Jays games this season, changes to the Rogers Centre aren't quite as drastic as in recent years.After undergoing a C$400-million renovation heading into each of the past two seasons, the stadium, in operation since 1989, has slowed down the new additions to the park for 2025.The biggest changes this year are a new pair of exclusive clubs, located in right field and behind home plate, respectively.The new Rogers Banner Club and Club 328 offer a chance for members (and non-members, pending on availability) to check out a unique private experience just steps away from their stadium seats.But if you're walking into a game anytime soon or simply walking past the ballpark, you might notice a bit of a refresh of the stadium exterior.This week, the team unveiled its annual player banners for the 2025 season, featuring the members of the Opening Day roster and the new "lights up, let's go" slogan.Eight new players cracked the fold for this year, including ...
