TORONTO — New renovation details have been released for the reimagined 100 Level seating bowl at Rogers Centre.

As part of the next phase of ballpark renovations, construction is set to begin at the end of the 2023 season and is expected to be complete for the 2024 season, the Toronto Blue Jays announced recently.

The current 100 level seating bowl and structure (from foul pole to foul pole) will be fully demolished at the end of the 2023 season and rebuilt to introduce a modern ballpark experience designed specifically for baseball viewing, indicates a release.

Key features include: a more comfortable experience with additional legroom, modern-shaped seats with slats on the back that provide more airflow, wider seats between the dugouts, cupholders throughout, adaptable raisable armrest options and handrails in every aisle; greater variety of seating options including different vantage points from new sections, accessible field level seats, plus the previously announced premium seating experiences; and improved sightlines with less obstruction, and new seats closer to the action as a result of the remodelled bowl structure.

Foul territory will also be reduced by about 3,000-square-feet total, between the middle of the infield dirt (just past the bases) to before the warning track on both sides of the diamond.

“Our goal from the onset of renovations was to transform Rogers Centre from a stadium to a ballpark, and we are excited to build off the enthusiasm and popularity of the new Outfield District in this next phase of projects,” said Mark Shapiro, president and CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays, in a statement. “By completely rebuilding the 100 level seating bowl, we are introducing an authentic ballpark viewing experience, with sightlines designed specifically for fans to enjoy Blue Jays baseball.”
