In a landmark announcement today, Rogers Communications and the Toronto Blue Jays revealed plans for the final phase of a massive \$850 million renovation project at the Rogers Centre, aiming to transform the historic stadium into a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment venue by the start of the 2026 MLB season.

Speaking at a press conference held at the stadium, Tony Staffieri, CEO of Rogers Communications, expressed excitement about the bold vision for the venue. “We’re embarking on a journey to reinvent the fan experience for baseball and beyond,” Staffieri said. “This renovation will set a new standard for stadiums not only in Canada but around the world.”

What to Expect from the Renovation?

The final phase of the renovation includes a suite of cutting-edge upgrades:

Retractable Glass Roof:Unlike the existing dome, the new roof will be fully transparent and operable, offering fans an open-air experience on sunny days without sacrificing protection from the elements.

Luxury Field-Level Suites: New premium seating options directly adjacent to the field will provide fans with unparalleled views and exclusive amenities.

5G Immersive Fan Zone:** Leveraging Rogers’ advanced 5G network, the stadium will introduce Canada’s first immersive fan zone featuring augmented reality (AR) experiences, instant replays, and interactive games.

Expanded Concourse and Dining:** The stadium’s concourses will be widened and feature local Toronto eateries and craft breweries, enhancing the culinary offerings.

Sustainability Features:The renovation will incorporate solar panels, energy-efficient lighting, and water conservation systems aligned with Rogers’ commitment to sustainability.

Fans can look forward to a more comfortable, engaging, and tech-forward experience when attending Blue Jays games. Season ticket holders will have early access to the new luxury suites, while the general public will benefit from enhanced concessions and interactive entertainment options throughout the stadium.

Local businesses are also expected to gain from increased foot traffic and partnership opportunities.

The Rogers Centre, opened in 1989 as SkyDome, has long been a centerpiece of Toronto’s sports landscape. This renovation marks the most significant upgrade since the stadium’s opening, reinforcing the city’s role as a premier destination for major sporting events.

Blue Jays President Mark Shapiro commented, “This project represents a commitment to our fans, the team, and the city of Toronto. We’re excited to welcome everyone to a stadium that’s as dynamic and innovative as the city itself.

Construction for this final phase is set to begin this fall, with completion targeted for spring 2026, just in time for the new baseball season. During construction, efforts will be made to minimize disruption to scheduled events.
