Here’s some trivia for you: If one were to line-up all the hot dogs served at Rogers Centre in one year, the hot dogs would cover the distance of 3,241 stolen bases!

If you’re hungry for hotdogs or not, the Rogers Centre is a great place for a tour of the world’s first stadium to be built with a fully retractable roof. It takes 20 minutes and $500 every time somebody wants to let the sun into this stadium!

Over 2,000 events have been staged and more than 50 million people have visited Rogers Centre since its opening in 1989. The Rogers Centre indoor/outdoor sports centre is the home field for both the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team and the Canadian Football League Argonauts team.

The Centre has 4 restaurants, including a Hard Rock Café that is the home of the largest electric guitar in North America. Allow one hour to take the self-guided tour of the Rogers Centre. 1 Blue Jays Way is the address.

Rogers Centre is conveniently accessible to everyone and located just steps from some of the great Toronto attractions. Great restaurants, hotels, nightlife, family venues and shopping are all moments from Rogers Centre.
