Second-worst park in the majors, next to Tropicana Field.

With Google already trying to build a city of the future in Toronto, maybe they'll team up with Rogers to make your point stronger?  (adding to their existing plans in Toronto...)

how the mighty have fallen... "look, the roof can open!" yeah, it's an uncomfortable place to watch a ballgame. plus those damn seagulls ruin everything!  oops, sorry. my mind wandered to watching the jays play at "exhibition stadium". i've frequented skyboxes in line with home plate and i've sat in the left field bleachers as well as other seat locations and i don't 'get' the big problem. then again, i (as a kid) remember taking a leak in communal metal troughs at fenway. now 'that" (in my opinion) was a problem worth fixing!

That "trough" problem was also an issue at the, now demolished, Pontiac Silverdome and long gone Cleveland Municipal Stadium. But only if you were watching the almost always inept Lions or the Factory of Sadness Browns. If you saw the Indians play [circa 1986] they were averaging maybe 6000 per game, so you practically had the washroom to yourself.

To cut costs, the Jays will soon play in a VR space in the basement of a Rogers storage facility.

The seats don't face home plate, it's two thirds empty, doesn't have real grass, has too much exposed concrete, and is very dark when the roof is closed.
