Rogers Centre – Toronto’s Beating Heart of Sports, Concerts, and Culture
If you're planning a visit to Toronto, there’s one place you absolutely must include on your list: the iconic Rogers Centre. Right in the vibrant downtown core, next to the CN Tower, it’s more than just a baseball stadium — it’s a landmark of sports, entertainment, and unforgettable memories.
Originally opened in 1989 and built over three years, the Rogers Centre has grown into a central hub for major events in Canada. Home to the Toronto Blue Jays — the only MLB team north of the border — this venue is where legends are born, and where stars like Bo Bichette electrify fans with performances that turn games into cinematic moments. Beyond baseball, the Rogers Centre has also hosted the Toronto Argonauts, Raptors games, world-class concerts, and even professional wrestling.
The capacity here? A massive 55,000 seats. And whether you’re attending a game, a concert, or another event, the seating map adapts to the occasion, offering a tailored experience for every fan. Accessibility is top-tier too — the stadium ensures accommodations for guests with disabilities, which makes every seat in the house a welcoming one.

Planning to drive? There’s limited underground parking right on-site, but many more options surround the area. Expect to pay between $15 and $60, depending on the event and proximity. Not driving? No problem. The Rogers Centre is a breeze to reach by public transportation. Union Station, just a short walk away, connects to GO Transit, the UP Express from the airport, and the city’s TTC subway system. Rideshares and taxis use a dedicated drop-off point at Gate 7 on Bremner Boulevard.
As for policies: pack light. Bags must be no bigger than 16x16x8 inches, and there's no valet or locker service for anything oversized. Rogers Centre is a completely smoke- and vape-free facility, and outside food isn’t allowed, though you can bring a sealed water bottle or an empty reusable one.
And yes — everything's digital now. The stadium uses mobile-only tickets, so make sure your phone is charged. No screenshots or paper printouts will work, and once you're in, you can't leave and re-enter.
If you’re coming from out of town, you’ll want to stay close by. Hotels like the Toronto Marriott City Centre Hotel are right inside the stadium with field-view rooms — yes, really. Others like the Residence Inn, Soho Hotel, and Bisha Hotel are within walking distance and offer upscale comfort.
But what’s happening there in 2025? Big names. Kendrick Lamar and SZA are hitting the stage June 12–13, The Weeknd performs July 27–28, and later in the summer, fans can catch The Jonas Brothers, My Chemical Romance, and Morgan Wallen. It’s a packed season of music and memories.
So, whether you’re there for the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd at a concert, or simply to experience one of Toronto’s cultural icons — Rogers Centre is ready for you. With its central location, robust amenities, and unbeatable event lineup, it’s not just a stadium. It’s Toronto’s beating heart.
