Watching... Toronto, ON September 2023 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
It was a hard lesson in real-world sports economics, where the simple joy of just being a fan wasn’t nearly enough to keep the magic going.
So these days we root for Canada’s only remaining Major League Baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays.
And as I often do whenever we see them play at the Rogers Centre (Skydome forever!) I like to wander the concrete concourse after the game and grab a few random memories through glass before we head for home.
I settled on the lower bowl seats this time out, because I knew they’d be gone before our next visit. The old stadium is in the middle of a huge makeover designed to maximize profits from fewer customers. That real-world sports economics thing again.
I needed to remember what it felt like to sit in the stands and watch our heroes play a game they loved.
