Rate your seatsThe most common seating layout at Rogers Centre for concerts is an end-stage setup with the stage located near sections Section 101, Section 102 and Section 103. For many concerts there are also slight variations to the layout, which may include General Admission seats, fan pits and B-stages.
On the Field: Sections Field A10, Field A11, Field A12 and Field A13 are Field Seats, which offer some of the closest views of the performers. For many concerts, field sections are added or removed. These performer-specific adjustments may alter the field layout and the views from each field section.
To the Side of the Stage: For close views of the stage with a little bit of elevation, consider seats to the side of the stage in Section 107, Section 108, Section 113A and Section 113B. The view is not head-on like on the field, but many of the seats are closer to the stage, provide better elevation and are actual stadium seats.
Head-on to the Stage: Seats directly across from the stage, like those in Section 119, Section 120, Section 121 and Section 122 provide the most comfortable looks of the performance. Even upper level sections offer unobstructed sitelines. Just keep in mind that you won't be able to see as much detail from these seats as you would if you sat closer to the stage.
Seats behind the stage are occassionally sold: Unless your main objective is to just get in the building, you'll want to completely avoid anything behind the stage - like those in/near or above sections Section 101, Section 102, Section 103 and Section 104. It's unlikely the performer will turn around to salute you - and you're more likely to be completely blocked out from seeing the show.
If you're on the shorter side (or bringing kids), consider field seats only in the first few rows: The most common complaint amongst field ticketholders is that they can't see the stage because of taller people in front of them. As an alternative, consider side sections near the stage that will still have you close and high enough to see.
Lower level side sections are not created equal: While the side sections closest to the stage are top-notch, side sections farther from the stage may leave you with a cramp in your neck. Sections 114 and 129 are not well-angled towards the stage - leaving you to turn your head for an ideal view. Instead, consider head-on sections in the lower level or even close side seats in the upper level like Sections 208 and 240.
For Blue Jays games, the following sections prohibit the possession or consumption or alcohol:
Blue Jays Dugout - The Blue Jays players sit in front of Section 124, Section 125 and Section 126
Visitor Dugout - The visiting team sits in front of Section 117, Section 118 and Section 119
As one of the few multi-purpose venues still hosting Major League Baseball, the Rogers Centre is enormous by today's ballpark standards. The home of the Blue Jays holds more than 50,000 guests and is the 7th oldest ballpark in the major leagues. Because of its original purpose as a multi-use facility, the Rogers Centre does not offer the best views for baseball games. Like the Oakland Coliseum, the stadium is characterized by poor sitelines to home plate and fans pushed back too far from the field. Continue reading to find our top picks for the best views at a Blue Jays game.
As with most ballparks, the best views at the Rogers Centre are found directly behind home plate. Not only will you have the most comfortable view of the field, you'll also have a head-on view of the large videoboard in center field. The best-of-the-best are Clubhouse sections 222-226 on the second seating deck.These seats offer an unobstructed view of the entire field, the right amount of elevation and additional amenities for being club seats.
Other home plate seating is found on the 100 and 500 levels. On the lower level, you'll do well in just about any row - though we recommend row 20 and above for more comfortable views and to cut down on your walk up to the concourse. In the upper level it's worth it to spend a few extra dollars to be in the lowest row possible. Multiple rings of suites circle the stadium between 200 and 500 level seats. As a result, even the front rows of the 500 level seem incredibly high up. We like rows 3-5 the best where you're close to the section entrance and the railing in front of row 1 is unobtrusive.
While home plate seats on the 200 level offer the absolute best views, above average views can be found throughout much of the second second seating deck. Unlike the 500 level sections that are simply too high up, these seats are located at just the right height for seeing a baseball game comfortably. Unfortunately - like most seating at the dome - they're pushed back too far from the field. These seats are better known for their comfortable views than close proximity. To feel a little closer to the field, choose a seat in one of the first four rows. You'll have a longer walk up the stairs to the concourse, but you'll feel much closer to the game.
Additional considerations for finding the best views include the following:
The Rogers Centre offers a few distinct seating options for impressing a guest. Whether you're surprising someone with a gift, entertaining a client or simply want an upscale experience at a Jays game, the dome offers something for everyone.
For the most discerning fan the Blue Jays offer "In the Action" seats that get you as close to the game as possible. These seats are located at three different spots in the lower level and are among the most difficult tickets to obtain. They are rarely available for sale - and when they are, they don't last for long. Action seats on the first and third base side are adjacent to their respective dugout and jut out onto the field - nearly separate from the rest of the lower bowl. While most seats at the Rogers Centre are pushed back from the field, this is as close as you can get. Home plate action seats also come out onto the field and fans in these seats are often shown on television. Besides for a surreal experience from field level, these seats include wait service and all-inclusive food and drink.
For a less expensive experience close to field level, consider sections 125 and 126. Given their location directly above the Blue Jays dugout, these are sure to make any Toronto fan happy. Aim for rows 8-17 where you'll be within 10 rows of the dugout and have a chance to receive a ball from the players as they head back to the bench.
If you're looking for upscale amenities but don't mind being a little farther away from the field, consider the Clubhouse seats on the 200 level behind home plate. With a lack of club seating options available, these seats are in high-demand for their excellent views, wait service and club access. The club offers fans another place to hang out, along with a reservation-only restaurant with a highly-regarded wine selection. With the exception of the ultra-expensive Action Seats, the Clubhouse seats are widely regarded as the best seats at the Rogers Centre and appeal to just about every fan.
Another consideration for impressing a guest is a reservation at the Sightlines restaurant in center field. With home plate about 500 feet away, you can let the game fall into the back-drop as you get down to business.

Owing to its status as one of North America's largest cities and its ease of accessibility from the northeast, Toronto is a popular summer-time destination for visiting baseball fans. The Rogers Centre is located in the entertainment district of Toronto which features a number of hotels, restaurants and other non-baseball activities. You can easily take in a Jays game, exit the stadium and be on with your next adventure in a matter of minutes.
While Toronto has a sterling reputation as a host city, the Rogers Centre is rather lacking when it comes to wowing out-of-town guests. Perhaps the most appealing aspects of the park to visiting fans are the restaurant and hotel in center-field. The Renaissance Toronto Downtown is literally built into the outfield at the Rogers Centre. A number of rooms have large windows that over-look the field of play. And you don't just get a glimpse of the action - these rooms are located directly above the 500 level seating deck in the outfield with clear views of most of the park. The Sightlines Restaurant is another popular destination for visiting guests. The restaurant offers buffet dining with seats facing home plate. Reservations can be made through the Rogers Centre.
If you're looking for a more traditional way of seeing your favorite team play the Blue Jays, you'll want to start by looking at tickets close to the visiting dugout and bullpen. The visiting team dugout is on the first base side of the field in front of sections 117L-119R. Rogers Centre sections use a left-right designation where an aisle splits each section in half. So while 117L and 119R are behind the dugout, 117R and 119L are adjacent to the dugout and not behind.
Another consideration for visiting fans is to be near the bullpen in right field. Sections 105-107 are located above the visiting team bullpen with the front rows of these sections having the best look at the pitchers as they warm up. In most ballparks these would also be ideal home-run seats. Unfortunately, the bullpens are quite large and steal a large number of would-be souvenirs.
If you're looking to grab a drink before the game, consider the WestJet Flight Deck in center field. This is a general admission standing room area that is open to all fans with a game ticket. The area provides drink rails so you can grab a cold one from the nearby bar and enjoy it while watching batting practice. This area gets incredibly crowded - especially on the weekends - so it's best to arrive when gates open and then head towards your seats a few minutes before first pitch. On your way, consider stopping by one of the Gourmet Frites stands on the 200 or 500 level. Among all of the food at the Rogers Centre, a calorie-laced poutine is most likely to please first-time visitors.
Handicap seating is available in select 100 and 200 level sections at the Rogers Centre.
There are two sections dedicated entirely to handicap accessible seating, one of which is Section 109 (directly behind the right field foul pole), and the other is Section 132 (located behind the left field foul pole). Other handicap accessible seating on the 100 level is available in Row A in Sections 117-126 (located at the top of the sections).
On the 200 level, handicap seating is available in Row A of Sections 208 and 241 (at the top of the sections).
Sections at the Rogers Centre are split down the middle by an aisle. Seats on the right side of the aisle are often have their section name suffixed with an "R" and seats on the left side with be suffixed with an "L". In section 139, for example, seats 101-110 are on the left side of the aisle and seats 1-11 are on the right side of the aisle. You'll also find that seat 10 in section 140/140R is directly next to seat 110 in section 139/139L.
Sections with these L/R delineations are typically referred to as "aisles" since they share the same aisle/stairway. Modern venues rarely use this system to organize their sections as it can be confusing to fans. On RateYourSeats.com, we do not separate R/L sections.
Some sections may also be labeled with an "A", "B" or "C". This is simply an arbitrary label. Section 113BR is simply the right side of section 113.

The Rogers Centre offers shaded seating for nearly every price range. Among the best shaded seats for an afternoon game are located on the 200 level. These seats are well-known for their impressive viewing height and quality sitelines towards the field. Sections 225-244 will be in the sun the longest among these seats, while only the higher rows on the first base side will see coverage during a day game.
If you prefer being closer to the field, your options are more limited. Again, you'll want to start your search on the 3B side of the field. By late afternoon, all of these seats will be covered, but only the highest rows will be covered during all nine innings.
For fans whose budget is a little tighter, nearly all outfield seats in fair territory are shaded by the roof - even when it is open. On the lower level, this is sections 101-108 and 135-142. On the 200 level, consider 204-208 and 240-244. And on the upper level, sections 504-506 and 542-544 are protected from the elements.
