Individual awards were presented to Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (Silver Slugger), closer Jordan Romano (Tip O'Neill), and first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The new-look outfield was showcased during a lengthy pre-game ceremony that saw Hall of Fame inductee Fred McGriff throw out the first pitch. 'You've heard the stories all throughout the off-season of how it's going to look so being here, in person, seeing it is an unreal experience,' said Grayson Ciulla of Peterborough, Ont. Schneiders Porch, an open-air hotdog concession at the right-field level of the 200s, has also been added.įinally, the WestJet Flight Deck in the 200 level has been refreshed with retro arcade games and a new brewery-style menu. Directly below that is The Catch, a bar space perched above the visitors' bullpen, while a bar next to that called The Stop overlooks centre field. At the same level but above right field is the Corona Rooftop Patio. Those new sections include Park Social, a space on the 500 level overlooking left field. The Quennevilles had just arrived in one of the new 'outfield districts' at the downtown Toronto ballpark. 'They've done a great job here, really playing up to the fans here and I'm really enjoying it.'

'It's remarkable,' said Neil Quenneville, who had taken the train in from Windsor, Ont., to see the home opener as a birthday present for his 12-year-old son.

The Blue Jays beat the Detroit Tigers 9-3 on Tuesday in Toronto's home opener, making it the first time the stadium had been open to the public since new bars, restaurants and other fan-centric amenities were added to the stands overlooking the outfield. Excited fans raced through the gates at Rogers Centre, with some having to double back because they forgot their free giveaway, too eager to get their first look at the renovated ballpark.
