Toronto - Rogers Centre (formerly Skydome)

Immediately adjacent to the CN Tower is Rogers Centre, a massive domed sports arena the roof of which slides back allowing it to be opened in favorable weather. This mega-structure, completed in 1989, is Toronto's answer to the ambitious Olympic Stadium built by its arch rival, Montréal. Rogers Centre can accommodate many thousands of spectators and is a venue for every kind of sport - baseball and football in particular - as well as for rock and pop concerts.
