The Rogers Centre became the new home of the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, June 5, 1989. The retractable roof stadium is the world's most advanced and luxurious ballpark. The stadium employs leading edge technology in both design and function. From the artificial turf to the 161 private luxury suites, the finest attention to detail was given.

At conception, the Rogers Centre took an innovative approach to financing, construction and design. Each private company contributed 5 million dollars in exchange for preferred supplier status and a luxury suite. The final construction cost of the Rogers Centre exceeded 600 million dollars. In April of 1999, the Rogers Centre was purchased by Sportsco International, L.P.

Architects Rod Robbie and Michael Allen designed the Rogers Centre and have patented its retractable roof system. Preparation of the site began in April 1986, with groundbreaking taking place in October of that same year. The last exterior concrete was poured in November of 1988 and the first test of the moveable roof panels took place in January 1989. More than 10,000 person-years of employment were created by the construction of the Rogers Centre.
