I was in downtown Toronto for a work conference. After finishing set-up for the conference earlier…read morethan expected the day before it started, a few coworkers and I decided to get last minute tickets to see the Blue Jays vs Twins game on 4/11. I was a little torn on who I should cheer for because I was born in Toronto and went to Blue Jays games as a kid but I have also been a Minnesotan for 2 decades. It was great being at the game - fun atmosphere and good food & drinks selection. Glad that we decided to get last minute tickets to go to the game and thankful that we were staying at a hotel right down the street from Roger Centre for my work trip.

It is one of the nicer ballparks that I have ever been to. The staff do a great job of interacting with the crowd. There were lots of food options, most of which were decent. However, the hot dog I got did not agree with my stomach and I felt poorly the next day.

This was honestly such a fun place to catch a game. I went on a Thursday night to watch the Toronto…read moreRaptors and the whole experience was just amazing from start to finish, especially because they got the win! The arena itself is right in the heart of downtown, so the whole area around it already feels super alive before you even walk in. There's people everywhere, jerseys, food spots nearby, and just that pre-game energy that makes it so fun. Inside, it was packed but in a good way, like full energy, loud, exciting, everyone already hyped before tip-off. I had seats in the 300 level and honestly I don't even think that's a bad thing at all. The view from up there is actually really solid, you can see the whole court properly and the energy from the crowd feels even more spread out and intense. Service-wise, everything was pretty organized. It was busy, so lines and movement around the concourse can get a bit crowded at times, but nothing unexpected for a Raptors game night. Once you're settled in your seat though, it's smooth and you can just focus on the game. Overall, I'd 100% recommend going at least once if you're in Toronto. It's not just about basketball, it's the full experience: the crowd, the energy, the location, and just being part of that atmosphere. Even from the 300s, it still feels like a really good seat. Definitely one of those experiences that's way more fun in person than on TV.

It was my second time seeing NKOTB and first for Paula. We had a great time. The venue could have used police presence and traffic control especially after the show. Ubers and Taxis were literally blocking lanes of traffic making walking (crossing the street) and driving very unsafe. They (taxis/Ubers) left their illegally parked cars on the street and were walking around asking event attendees if they needed an Uber. They were also making erratic u-turns. We didn't see ANY police or traffic control. It was bad. The crowd was crazy inside for the food/drink and merch lines as it usually is for concerts, but we ate before going so we didn't buy anything. I went to the merch line after the show and the line went really quick. I got lucky and the merch I wanted was still available in our sizes. Also, we came to Toronto from California for this show. I wish there was more signage especially on the freeway for the Budweiser Stage. We didn't see any, but saw signage for other venues. We were using Google Maps so we ended up being fine. Would I go back to the Budweiser Stage? Maybe.

There's not a lot to this stadium. The shops aren't very well developed, and the food options are…read morelimited. There is a water fountain near the entrance: the trick is to twist the spout around 180 degrees so you can fill your water bottle. But, put it back so you don't just have water splashing onto the floor by those not expecting that. The one thing that you want to pay attention to is the side you sit on. If there's an afternoon game, and you're on the east side... well, the sun sets in the west, so that sun is directly on you. And it gets hot. Very very hot. Also, make sure you have a clear bag if you want to take anything in... It's not the worst stadium, and when you're in your seats it looks great, but it doesn't have a lot to offer.

This review marks my 3,000th one. Crazy, huh?…read more I wanted to review something either in Toronto or the GTA to mark this milestone. It's BMO Field. As with many of my reviews, I do have a different spin. Here's mine with this stadium. BMO Field is where the old Exhibition Stadium used to be. BMO Field was established in 2007. It is the home of the Toronto Argonauts (Canadian Football League) and Toronto FC (Football (soccer) Club). I have seen all Argos games at SkyDome or Rogers Centre, depending on when the name change occurred. I have yet to see a Toronto FC game. My spin? Although BMO Field isn't a concert venue, the first and only concert that was held here was Genesis on September 7, 2007. I was there. It holds a special place in my heart. It was a fantastic concert. I don't know why it hasn't hosted more concerts. I was comfortable at this concert. Concession stands were everywhere. The prices were a bit expensive back then, but you expect that to be the case at any major entertainment event. The washrooms were clean and accessible. These days, I'm normally around the area to park. I remember seeing Erasure at Queen Elizabeth Theatre a few years back, which is across from BMO Field. I parked near gate 4. It was affordable and a fairly close walk over to the theatre on a soggy, rainy evening. I haven't seen any CFL games recently. I should, as I miss seeing all CFL action in a stadium. I'll need to give it a try at BMO Field in the upcoming Argos season. (127)

I have been making frequent visits to Monarch Park lately, because it's winter softball time and…read morethis is where all the magic happens. First time I showed up there, I was a popsicle, it was possibly colder inside than it was outside. The heater was broken they say and it would take a few days, scratch that, weeks to get it fixed. Weeks later, it did get fixed, but only for one week, because the following week (this week), it's cold AF in there again. Beside that, Monarch Park is a full-sized soccer field is sectioned into quarters and is ultimately an all-purpose field. The many times I've been there, I have seen full on soccer games, adults and little ones training for soccer, there are people running on the track and obviously playing softball. The only downside to this place is the turf, the turf is a mix of "grass" and gravel get everywhere. In shoes, on my jackets, in my bag, everything. For softball, they also use a different ball, it's softer, and therefore bouncier, but it hurts less if you get it. Other than that, I'm just glad I get to continue playing softball indoors.
