🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

The newly renovated 100-level seats between the dugouts are now oriented toward the infield for much better views. For a social vibe, head to the Corona Rooftop Patio in the 500-level.

Parking Tips

Avoid driving; the stadium is perfectly served by Union Station (TTC and GO Transit). If walking from downtown, use the covered "SkyWalk" for a direct and climate-controlled path.

Game Day

Explore the "Outfield District" social spaces before the game. Watch for the roof to openβ€”a process that takes about 20 minutes and transforms the entire atmosphere of the park.
