which city is this in
Can’t wait to hear Rogers’ excuse on why they will have hiked my rates for next year. I’ll save a copy of this photo and tell them I don’t like baseball…
A giant wrecking ball could do a better job on that old concrete bunker.
3rd time's a charm for this breaking news, and the meteorite one? 🤔
As a single parent that relies on food banks I can’t wait to visit Rogers Center next year Go J’s Go 🤡
I wonder what that $ could have done for the needy in Toronto? I'm sure JohnTory will show up for photo opps at RogersCenter and congratulate himself. I wonder how inconvenienced he will be when he has to step around the homeless that are piling up on the streets of Toronto!
Ukraine could have used that money. 😇
Unless they remove the roof and install real grass, I will never go there
My son is workimg on the project-it’s going to be fab!
Who cares who is paying for what... I see work being done. Forget Metrolinx and the constant Eglinton LRT delays. Get these people to complete all the construction on Eglinton. At something will get done. Even the Finch LRT will be completed in less time than Eglinton 🤦♂️
Toronto's SkyDome cost more than $500 million to build in the late 1980s. Rogers Communications bought it in 2004 for $25 million and renamed it the Rogers Centre.
Who’s paying for the reno? Taxpayers paid for the Skydome to be built and sold it to Rogers for less than the price of some houses in Toronto.
