Bluejays V Redsocks



Went to Toronto for the weekend to have a look around. Lucky to be given free tickets to see a major league baseball game at the Rogers Centre. The Toronto Bluejays were playing the Boston Redsocks at the Rogers Stadium. This stadium is right next to the CN Tower and is very impressive. Unfortunately the weather was poor so they did not open the roof. Once inside the building you can get a true indication of its enormous size. Baseball players were 'skying' hits into the dome and went know where near the top.
Our seats were directly behind home plate in what is the best viewing point besides the dugout so we were most excited. The Jays took the game out comfortably but lost the 3 game series in the end. We emersed ourselves in the atmosphere of baseball and found it not dissimilar to the State of Origin RL game we saw live last year except for the fact that it was a round game. The merchandise shops (in the stadium) and the food stalls and the hotdog stalls were very Amarican. You can get a hot dog with a trillion different condiments added if you wish. Plain old tomato sauce (ketchup over here thankyou) is pretty boring.
