Going to a Blue Jays game is an essential Toronto ritual. Since Rogers Centre completed Phase 2 of its multi-year $300-million renovation, expect photo ops, incredible new views and so. much. more.
Here are 10 ways to fan your Blue Jays spirit this season at the updated Major League Baseball ballpark.
Attending a Jays’ home opener has always been a fan rite of passage. The 100 Level seating bowl was entirely rebuilt for the 2024 season, featuring wider, padded seats oriented towards home plate, enhancing the viewing experience.
But this year, the newest spot at Rogers Centre has fans right at field level at Club 328.
What can you expect? Better sightlines, a variety of vantage points, being closer to the action and access to an exclusive club and private bar.
“I don’t like free team swag,” said no Jay fans ever. So don’t miss out on giveaway games! During select home games of the Jays' regular season, the first 15,000 fans have a chance to score goodies like bobbleheads, replica jerseys, and more.
Did you know you can stay overnight inside Rogers Centre? Toronto Marriott City Centre Hotel was the first hotel to be built within a major league ballpark. Spend the weekend in a field-view suite, or gather a group and book one of the hotel’s private open-air Skyboxes.
You can also catch the game from the hotel’s Sportsnet Grill, which features menu items like Power Play Poutine, and the 416 Double Header (a mega burger stacked with two 8 oz prime-and-chuck patties, plus all the fixings—including aged cheddar and hot honey—on a brioche bun).
Regular 2026 Theme Days crank up the fun factor with giveaways, activities and entertainment.
This season has 11 on-deck, including Blue Jays Y2K Weekend (April 24, 2026), Blue Jays Barbie Game Day (May 9, 2026), Blue Jays Pride Night (June 5, 2026), Blue Jays Transformers Day (August 1, 2026) and more.
The Outfield District, introduced in 2023, continues to offer endless opportunities for photos and reels tailor-made for Instagram.
Hit up TD Park Social for a selfie with the baseball mural and swings, and rep your love for Toronto with a photo of the mural of the city’s neighbourhoods, which you’ll find in The Stop.
Some of the best photo backdrops, though, are in the Corona Rooftop Patio (from the greenery wall decked out with a Toronto Blue Jays neon sign to the Toronto skyline mural).
Hot dog lovers, prepare your appetites because Loonie Dogs Nights are returning for 2026! Budget-friendly $1 hot dogs will be sold at stadium concession stands during each of this season’s 12 Tuesday home games (excluding Canada Day).
Formerly known as the Right Field Bleachers, the retro-style Canada Dry Bleachers behind the visitors’ bullpen is the perfect spot to observe the opposing team’s pitchers in action. Hardcore fans often arrive early to secure prime spots in this section.
Make this the season you catch a stray home run ball. One of the best chances you’ll get to do this is in Rogers Landing, located in right field beside the visitors’ bullpen. You’ll not only get front-row views of the rival bullpen and outfield, but stray homers have been known to end up in this standing-room-only area.
You’ll hear loads of music at the Rogers Centre during Jays games. Make your way from hot spot to hot spot in the stadium, including Corona Rooftop Patio, TD Park Social, WestJet Flight Deck and The Stop—who knows, the catchy tunes may just inspire you to break out dancing.
Craft beer connoisseurs won’t want to miss out on beer tastings while spectating. Toronto breweries featured in stadium include Bellwoods Brewery, Mill St. Brewery, and Great Lakes Brewery, to name just a few.
More of a cocktail drinker? Head to The Catch Bar for handcrafted cocktails, including the ballpark’s signature drink, OK Blue Jays Rum Punch, a mix of Sprite, lime juice, simple syrup and Bacardi Blue. Bonus: it’s served in a souvenir cup you can take home!
Each season brings a menu refresh, offering a mix of ballpark classics to quirky bites for adventurous eaters.
Expect new specialty hot dogs in addition to the fan-favourite Hot Maple Bacon Hot Dog, Korean Fried Chicken, and a member-exclusive BBQ-inspired menu at Club 328, to name a few.
