Opened in 1989, Rogers Centre is the seventh oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball.

Rogers Centre is one of only three multi-purpose stadiums left in MLB along with Oakland’s RingCentral Coliseum and Tampa Bay’s Tropicana Field.

Shapiro says the renovations are designed to make Rogers Centre more baseball-specific.
