Are the hand railings an accessibility requirement? They seem high and might interfere with sightlines. I don't believe the 100 level (infield) had hand railings before.
 
The Jays website has one of those things where you can swipe and see before/after. Pretty fun!

You can really see how huge the difference is down the lines.

We have a couple storeys up on the front page for your edification:

Did they have to go with grey as an accent colour? It's so drab. Especially those grey faux stone walls and the Landlord Special grey "wood" benches. I know it's one of the uniform colours but it would've been nice to have some warmer tones in the mix.

They're just paying proper homage to Toronto, the city whose in love with every single aspect of grey imaginable.
 
Looks good overall although they should have gone with a proper dirt warning track instead of continuing with that fake dead grass.
 
Some pics from yesterday's jaunt into the Roofdome:

From the Catch Bar above the visitor's bullpen:

New seats belong the Catch Bar overhang alongside the visitor's bullpen, now available for sale during the games:

As you can see in the left foreground above, there are general admission first-come, first-served bleachers beside the visitor's bullpen as well. They've been branded by Canada Dry this year, with the uppermost row of the bleachers reserved for Canada Dry guests.

Visitor's dugout, including where the can store their bats and helmets:

In front of the 110/111 seats is new field-side wheelchair seeting space. The Jays are still deciding what to provide between the 111 section and the row of wheelchair seats:

Access to that area will be from the passage seen below that will connect to one of the premium lounge areas. The premium lounges are still under construction, but the elevator is already operational that will get guests to the accessible seating.

More to come.

Here are the additions to this year's offerings while you're at the bird's nest:

New menu items include tiramisu, cannoli, Crush floats,

loaded mac'n'cheese, vegan tacos, "snow" (cheese dust) fries…
IMG_2365.jpeg


stuffed Jamaican patties, and, what I consider the belle of the ball, the Hot Honey & Maple Bacon Hot Dog, which was so, so good. So good. That's what I'm going for when I'm back on the 15th.

...while new beverages include Bud Light with (can you handle) double the lime?!
IMG_2376.jpeg


And two zero-sugar 7up-based vodka sparklers with 7° alcohol each, one original flavour, and one lemonade:
IMG_2377.jpeg


Zero% Corona and alcohol-free Spritzers — Aperol and Mojito flavours — for those wanting to avoid shameful, loutish behaviour:

The Blue Jay's Mill Street Blue Wave lager:

And various cocktails and mocktails:

While most of these are two sweet for me, I loved the new Mangonada. That's got a kick...

Go Jays!

Thoughts?

Not a fan of the seating behind home plate as a viewer at home on TV. The back wall make it look like I am watching the zoom fans that the NBA had during its pandemic season. Very weird to me.

Yeah, I wish the wall behind the front block of seats was about 2’ lower. Doesn’t look as good as I was hoping. That said, I’m sure we’ll get used to it and it will be “fine”….

Its change so we are not use to this. Its been so long since change? Either way, it will grow on me and everyone else.

The constant movement of people behind the home plate seats is distracting. Putting a barrier behind the last row of seats would solve this and also help cover some of that faux stone
