Toronto Blue Jays Tickets |
Anaheim Angels Tickets |
The Toronto Blue Jays came into existence in 1976 as one of two teams slated to join the American League for the next season (the other being the Seattle Mariners). Toronto had been mentioned as a major league city several times in the previous century and had been home to the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League from 1930 to 1967. The San Francisco Giants were considering a move to the city until they were purchased by Bob Lurie in 1976. SkyDome or Rogers Centre was the first major team sports arena in North America to sport a fully retractable roof. The roof is composed of four panels and covers an area of 345,000 square feet. It takes 20 minutes for the roof to open or close. The venue is also well known for its enormous Jumbotron television, at 33 by 110 feet. For a time, it was the largest of its kind in the world. The Jumbotron and the stadium played host to several television events, including the series finales for Star Trek: The Next Generation and Cheers along with live coverage of the funeral of Princess Diana.
