What we know about Rogers Centre

Where visiting fans stay

Checked at the source
  • Entertainment District and CityPlace. 5 min by walk. The Toronto Marriott City Centre is part of the ballpark, and 55 of its rooms and suites look onto the field. Other hotels line Front Street West and King Street West a few blocks north, close to the bars.

  • King West. 15 min by walk. Boutique hotels and a dense row of restaurants and bars. The King streetcar stops at John Street and Peter Street, a short walk from the gates.
  • Pearson Airport area. 40 min by transit. A fallback when downtown is full or expensive. Take the UP Express from Terminal 1 to Union Station in 28 minutes, then walk to the ballpark.

Around the stadium

From a specialist guide
The Toronto Marriott City Centre is built into the ballpark at 1 Blue Jays Way, with a drop-off roundabout by Gate 13. Across Front Street West, The Pint and the hotels and bars of the Entertainment District sit a short walk north, and Steam Whistle Brewing and the CN Tower are next door on Bremner Boulevard.

Getting in from the airport

Checked at the source
YYZ (Toronto Pearson). The UP Express leaves from Terminal 1 every 15 minutes and reaches Union Station in 28 minutes. From Union, the ballpark is a short walk west on Front Street or through the covered SkyWalk.

Getting to the stadium

Checked at the source
UP Express train from the airport, about 40 min. Union Station. Walk west on Front Street or follow signs to the SkyWalk, which brings you out between the CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium near Gates 5 and 6. TTC subway Line 1, about 10 min. Union Station or St Andrew Station. From Union, walk about 10 minutes west or take the SkyWalk. TTC King or Queens Quay streetcar, about 15 min. The King streetcar stops at John Street and Peter Street, north of the ballpark. The Queens Quay line stops at Spadina Avenue and Rees Street; walk north on Rees to Bremner Boulevard for Gate 7. GO Transit train or bus, about 45 min. Union Station, then a short walk west to the ballpark.

Tailgating

Checked at the source
The ballpark has no tailgate lot. Its only lot is underground and reserved for season ticket members, accessible parking and staff, and the nearby lots are private paid garages. Steam Whistle Brewing at 255 Bremner Boulevard, across the street, runs a pregame tailgate that starts about 3 hours before first pitch, with smash burgers and hot dogs off the grill and its pilsner. It is family friendly. On game days the kitchen and taproom take walk-ins only.

Getting in

Checked at the source
  • Bag policy: Bags must be smaller than 16 x 16 x 8 inches and soft sided. Diaper bags, medical bags, small purses and small backpacks are fine. Hard-sided coolers are not allowed. Every bag is searched, and there is no bag storage.
  • Cashless: The ballpark is cashless and has no ATMs. Reverse ATMs that load cash onto a prepaid Visa card are at Sections 110 (inside the Jays Shop), 141, 212, 236, 508 and 532. Prices are in Canadian dollars, so use a card with no foreign transaction fee.
  • Re-entry and alcohol: There is no re-entry, and the building is smoke free, including vaping and cannabis. Beer sales at stands end after the seventh inning, but the Corona Rooftop Patio in the 500 Level right field serves until the end of the ninth. Staff check ID for anyone who looks 40 or younger, and you can hold two drinks at a time.

Touring the stadium

Checked at the source
In 2025 the Classic Tour ran 60 minutes from C$40 for adults, with stops on the field, in a suite, a premium club and the Outfield District. The 90-minute Pregame Tour adds batting practice from the outfield. Book through bluejays.com/tours, up to two months ahead. When checked in October 2026, the team page said new tour dates were coming soon, so check it before you plan around a tour. Tour the brewery inside the John Street Roundhouse, a national historic site built in 1929 for train maintenance, next door to the ballpark. The tour route is not wheelchair accessible.

After the final whistle

From a specialist guide
Most fans walk to Union Station, either along Front Street West or through the covered SkyWalk, and then catch the subway, GO trains or the UP Express. The King streetcar stops at John Street and Peter Street, and the Queens Quay streetcar stops at Spadina Avenue and Rees Street south of the ballpark. To beat the crowd at Union, wait out the rush at Steam Whistle or a Front Street bar.

One thing to avoid

From a specialist guide
Driving in and hoping to park at the ballpark. The underground lot is held for season ticket members, accessible parking and staff, so book a private lot through SpotHero ahead of time or take transit. US visitors also forget that a passport is the document to bring.

Bars near the stadium

Checked at the source

  • Steam Whistle Brewing

    255 Bremner Blvd, Toronto, ON M5V 3M9

    A brewery inside the historic John Street Roundhouse across from the ballpark, pouring its own pilsner with a kitchen, taproom and patio. It runs pregame tailgates and is close enough that you can hear the home run bell from the patio.

    Away fans: a huge, mixed crowd of locals and tourists. Visiting colors draw friendly ribbing at most.

  • The Pint Public House

    277 Front St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2X3

    A 950-seat sports bar and restaurant with 100 TVs, steps from the ballpark on Front Street. It fills by 5pm before night games, and a second wave arrives after the final out.

    Away fans: a big room full of home fans, but used to visiting crowds from across the street.

  • The Loose Moose

    146 Front St W, Toronto, ON

    A downtown bar since 1989 with more than 50 beers on tap, many of them Canadian craft. Portions are big, and a basement room hosts local bands.

    Away fans: a lively downtown bar with plenty of out-of-towners, so away jerseys fit in.

  • Corona Rooftop Patio

    1 Blue Jays Way, Toronto, ON M5V 1J1 (500 Level right field, near Section 508)

    An open-air standing area high in right field, part of the Outfield District. It is the one spot in the ballpark that keeps serving alcohol after the seventh inning.

    Away fans: a ticketed home crowd. Expect chirps, not trouble.
