Rogers Centre opened on June 3, 1989, and was originally known as SkyDome. It was renamed Rogers Centre on February 2, 20051. The stadium has undergone several key cosmetic changes over the years, including widened concourses, updated and upgraded suites, and new video and broadcast technology.

One of the unique features of Rogers Centre is its fully retractable roof, which allows the venue to be an open-air facility with the ability to close pending weather conditions. The roof system features a series of three moveable panels and one stationary panel which takes 25 minutes to open or close fully.
