Rogers Centre
The world's first fully retractable motorized roof opened here in 1989 — and 70 hotel rooms still peer straight down onto the field.

Torontonians still call it SkyDome regardless of the sign. Built on the old Railway Lands beside the CN Tower and opened in 1989, it was an engineering first: the motorized roof that rewrote what a stadium could be. The attached 348-room hotel embeds 70 windows directly above the diamond, so guests can watch a Blue Jays game from their beds.
What to look for
- The retractable roof panels and the curved tracks they ride along — the mechanism that made this place a global first in 1989
- Hotel room windows set into the interior wall above the outfield, looking straight down onto live play
- The CN Tower rising immediately outside — the stadium sits at its base, making the two structures inseparable from any angle
Blue Jays home games run April through September; the stadium is a short walk from Union Station on the lakeshore edge of downtown.
