Baseball is back and there are a few things Blue Jays fans should keep in mid if they are planning to head downtown for tonight’s home opener against the Texas Rangers.
Toronto police say that the roadways around the Rogers Centre, including Bremner Boulevard, Blue Jays Way and Navy Wharf Court, will be closed about two hours prior to first pitch at 7:07 p.m. in order to “ensure the safe flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.”
Meanwhile, anyone dropping someone off at the game is being urged to do so along Front Street due to the road closures in the immediate vicinity of the stadium.Commuters using the 504 King streetcar will not have to pay a fare between 5:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. tonight due to a Opening Night promotion being paid for by Polar Ice Vodka.
Go Transit also says that they are expecting this weekend to be one of their busiest since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago and are warning those going to the games to leave plenty of time. “We've been adding coaches to trains so there's more capacity. For trains that had six coaches, for example, there are now 10 or 12. So that's been helping a lot. But we do expect it to be busy,” Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins told CP24.
