Anyone ever been there? Im sure some from the mall may even live there. Thinking about taking a trip in June 2008 to catch a Jays game. I hear its like NYC... Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Ive been there 4-5 times

like nyc, not realy other then the fact its a city, and its big

One time i went and their garbage men were on strike, that was fun

Open up a thread in the proline forum, ton of those guys from toronto

Easy enough to get tickets to jays games as well, those things never sell out

Its an interleague summer game vs Cubs though...I found tickets 11 rows from dugout.

I also need to know about Rogers Centre...What side is the visitors/home dugout on? The majority of the stadiums I have gone to have the visitors on the 1st base side, except PNC Park....

Thanks again.

Visitors are on 1st base side as far as i remember, its been a minute since i went to the game there though.

We used to buy uper deck tickets and walk down and sit ground level.

Cool stadium to see, interesting to see the dome work if you get the chance. Slow as hell though.

Thanks BC.
How are the people there? Are they ignorant like everyone else on East Coast?

lol

no problem man

I wouldnt say they were ignorant other then the fact some have not learned how to speek english, those foolish bastards sticking with their french roots

Most of the people were real chill, no one geting in your face like they do every block in NYC. A lot more polite and lax from my experiences.

Less hectic up there as well

hope you enjoy it bro, dont forget your passport

(how shity is that yea?)

I'm from Toronto and I can tell you if you are visiting you will have a great time. Rogers Center is ok, nothing to write home about unless you get to see the roof opening and closing, thats still pretty neat to see, visitors dugout is down the first base line to answer your other question. Rogers Center itself is right downtown with alot of great restaurants and the waterfront just down the street. Pretty much walking distance to everything you want to see while in town. Also our strip joints are truly strip joints, lol!! and you may want to check out one of those finer establishments, very popular with pro athletes who come into town, just ask ARod, lmao!!

Honestly though coming in June you will have a great time, make sure you take a run up the CN Tower just like every other tourist that comes to our city, lol!! Into hockey and the Hockey Hall of Fame is right there as well if you care, but like I said great restaurants, very good nightlife and pretty much very decent people but like everything else and like everywhere else you just have to watch yourself.

I went to Toronto about 9 years ago and did the CN Tower and Hockey HOF. I will say Toronto was very clean around the Rogers Center. I even saw a movie set a few blocks away.
