Toronto Blue Jays fans are eagerly anticipating an update on the future of the Rogers Centre after years of debate on whether to demolish or renovate the iconic stadium.
Blue Jays president and CEO Mark Shapiro will share details and initial renderings of an updated Rogers Centre at 12:30 p.m.
Thursday. Rogers added a few tweaks during the most recent offseason, such as LED lights and a new scoreboard. But the multipurpose venue hasn't seen any fundamental renovations since it first opened 33 years ago as the world's first stadium with a retractable roof.
