It was August 11 1998;the day will never forget when I toured the Skydome and the Air Canada Centre in Toronto Ontario. I had never been in either place before.I found;the Skydome huge inside and out. It was during the day and there wasn't any events going on at the time I was there.
The ground's crew were working on the turf converting it from Football to Baseball. It was mid-week and there were no games scheduled until Friday.I got to see what was once was the Toronto Raptors dressing room,with 8 foot doorway and showers to match. The Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Argos dressing rooms were off limits to the public.
The seating capacity is estimated to be around 25,000 to 78,000.
The largest crowd was a Wrestling match. The Domes roof is retractable. The tour guide said it takes 20 minutes for the roof to open and close. Sad to say the roof wasn't open the day I was there. Someday I would like to go there when there is an event going on.
Then there is the A.C.C. also known as the Air Canda Centre.Which is the new home of the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team,and the Toronto Raptors basketball team. It was August,so there wasn't any ice in the rink that day. The maintenance crew were working on the basketball court the day I was there. I saw what the Toronto Maple Leafs dressing room looked like 30 years ago and what it looks like today.What a difference in size. The seating capacity is 19,800 for Hockey and 22,000 for Basketball(estimate).
Someday I would like to see my first Toronto Maple Leaf hockey game or any other event.
