Introduction
Rogers Centre is a famous landmark in Toronto, adjacent to the CN Tower. Although its current name is Rogers Centre, its old name "SkyDome" is well-known. The building serves as the home field for the Major League Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays team and the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts team. It is the world's first sports stadium with a fully retractable roof, which consists of four panels, three of which can retract or expand. It takes only 20 minutes to open or close the roof, at a speed of 21 meters per minute. When summer comes, Rogers Centre becomes a favorite spot for the locals. They enjoy coming here on sunny weekends to watch the Blue Jays play. At this time, the roof is fully open, turning the stadium into an outdoor sports arena. Spectators can enjoy drinking beer and eating hot dogs while watching the game. If there is no game, tourists can buy tickets and visit Rogers Centre with a guide. During the tour, visitors can not only see the main playing area, but also enter the VIP boxes and media area that are not normally open to the general public.
