A Guide to Rogers Centre
The Rogers Centre (originally known as the SkyDome) has undergone a massive multi-year renovation, transforming it from a multi-purpose stadium into a baseball-first ballpark.
Getting to the Ballpark
Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, Rogers Centre is one of the most accessible stadiums in North America.
Parking & Driving
Parking in downtown Toronto is notoriously expensive. Street parking is virtually non-existent and parking enforcement is aggressive during games.
- Blue Jays Managed ParkingThere is an underground lot directly beneath the Rogers Centre. This lot is divided into 4 zones with entrances all around the stadium though it fills up very quickly.
- Independent LotsA number of independent lots exist around downtown. You can pre-purchase parking at many of these via SpotHero. Popular options include:
- Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC)It has two entrances (Internal Rd off Simcoe or Lower Simcoe). It is spacious and has direct weather-protected access to the stadium.
- Rees Street Surface LotDirectly south of the stadium. It’s easier to exit than underground lots but more exposed to the elements.
- Impark/Precise Link LotsNumerous smaller lots are scattered along Blue Jays Way and Spadina Ave.
Public Transit: The Triple-Tier System
Toronto’s transit network is divided into three main layers that all converge at Union Station, located a 5-10 minute walk from the stadium via the Skywalk.
- The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission)The Yellow Line 1 (Yonge-University) is the primary north-south artery. It services the downtown core and stretches north into North York and Vaughan. The Green Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth) runs east-west and connects to Line 1 at Spadina, St. George or Bloor-Yonge. From that connection ride a couple of stops to Union Station.
- Streetcars
- 510 SpadinaRuns from Spadina Station (Line 2) down to the waterfront. Get off at Bremner Blvd for the West-side gates (Gates 10-16).
- 504 KingRuns east-west along King St. Get off at Peter St and walk south.
- 509 HarbourfrontConnects Union Station to the Exhibition grounds along the lake.
- GO Transit - Regional CoverageThis is the commuter rail system for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Lines extend to Hamilton/Niagara (Lakeshore West), Oshawa (Lakeshore East), Barrie, Kitchener, Milton, and Stouffville.
- The Experience: Trains are double-decker. On game days, Lakeshore lines usually run every 30 minutes. It is the best option for fans coming from the suburbs to avoid gridlock.
- UP Express - Airport ConnectionA dedicated rail link connecting Pearson International Airport to Union Station in 25 minutes. Ideal for fans flying in for a series. Cycling & Bike Share Toronto.
- RideshareThere is no dedicated drop off/pick up location for rideshare near the stadium, though you may be better off walking away from the stadium to avoid the worst traffic and surge pricing.
Cycling & Bike Share Toronto
- Bike Share TorontoToronto’s municipal bike-sharing program has several high-capacity docking stations nearby.
- Primary Docks: Bremner Blvd / Rees St, Navy Wharf / Bremner, and Union Station.Tip: During sold-out games, these docks can fill up quickly. Check the PBSC or Lyft app in real-time to ensure there is an open dock before you arrive.
- Personal BikesThere are ring-and-post racks around the stadium, but they fill up quickly. The most secure racks are located near Gate 3 and Gate 13.
