Is it "the Rogers Centre" or just "Rogers Centre"

[edit]

I really do not care either way, but this article needs to be consistent as to whether or not there is the word "the" in front of Rogers Centre. I personally call it "the Rogers Centre" because that's how Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth called it.

Blue Jays Tenants

[edit]

There have been a couple of edits that removed 2020 from the tenants timeframes for the Blue Jay lately. I would say that even if the Blue Jays don't play any games with the public here, they are still tenants this year. They're still occupants of the building and they are involved in training there, whether they actually play games or not. Rogers Centre is still where they're based and nothing has changes on that front. The only possibly thing missing is actually playing a formal game.

I have added a note. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 13:50, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to say the same thing, so thanks! A team can still be a "tenant" without playing games there, such as for a major renovation or being temporarily displaced like the New Orleans Saints after Hurricane Katrina. "Tenant" doesn't always necessarily mean "plays all home games there", even though many seem to use the two terms interchangeably. There's a difference between a temporary move and a permanent one that a team later changes course on, like the Oakland Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum or the Cleveland Indians at Cleveland Stadium where a team formally left their respective facility (as in legally terminated their tenancy) and then returned later. The Blue Jays aren't formally leaving Rogers Centre; they're being forced to play elsewhere for extenuating circumstances. All of their offices and other infrastructure will remain at Rogers Centre and they are still very much legal tenants of the building even if they play all their home games elsewhere in 2020. --JonRidinger (talk) 20:56, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification and have added further notes. The Blue Jays still has the Rogers Centre as its primary stadium despite playing in Sahlen Field in Buffalo this year due to cross-border travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Crimes

[edit]

I have to seriously question why the Yannis Carayannopoulos incident is listed on the timeline. Not only is it historically insignificant (Toronto has had multiple streakers before him) but making the incident noteworthy on timeline? Why was it ever included in first place? I am thinking to remove it just wanted to see if anyone else had feedback as to why it was important? Kav2001c (talk) 22:51, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removed today after a month to see if anyone had any reason to keep it Kav2001c (talk) 10:40, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Multi-purpose stadium

[edit]

Regarding this edit: I agree that with the completion of the 2023–2024 offseason renovations, Rogers Centre is no longer a venue specifically designed to host multiple sports, and no longer reflects a design philosophy that stresses multifunctionality over specificity (as per multi-purpose stadium). As described in "Blue Jays showcase lower-bowl renovations at Rogers Centre ahead of 2024 home-opener", The latest renovation is part of the transition from a multi-purpose stadium to a ballpark-first venue.... Thus I think the edit is appropriate. isaacl (talk) 00:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Just because it is a former multi-purpose stadium does not mean that we should state that it is a multi-purpose stadium. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 12:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

I was looking through the article and thought there are lots of images throughout the web page, and maybe a gallery should be created. Is there any consensus, please ? Cltjames (talk) 02:11, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus, article needed a bit of tidying; done ✅️ Cltjames (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
