Rogers Centre
Rogers Centre is a sports stadium in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is right next door to the CN Tower. It is the home field of the Major League Baseball team called the Toronto Blue Jays. Until 2015, it was also home to the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
When Rogers Centre opened in 1989, it was called the SkyDome. It hosted the WWF's WrestleMania VI on April 1, 1990 and WrestleMania X8 on March 17, 2002. WrestleMania X8 attracted the largest ever paid crowd to SkyDome with 68,237 fans.[1]

A cable-stayed bridge was built over the Union Station Rail Corridor next to the stadium. Stadium-goers, pedestrians and cyclists use the bridge, while hot dog stands are set up on it.
