Tonight was the Blue Jays' home opener and Gord and I were there.
We had tix in the 500 level ... cheap seats and I like it up there!
The Jays' kicked the Tigers' butt 12 - 5. Whoohoo!
Teena and GordThere were just over 48,000 fans. It was a rambunctious crowd ... people were throwing paper airplanes and cheering as they glided onto the field.
Then it got more rowdy with cups with ice, umbrellas, etc. being thrown. Not cool. The security guards were kept busy and some fans were kicked out to the serenade of "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye"!
The game was paused in the eighth inning and there was a warning that if the fans didn't stop throwing stuff on the field, the Jays would forfeit the game.
It was cold and rainy all day. When we left the Rogers Centre, we were greeted by snow.
Snow?!
Here's a shot of our street.
Yes, the white stuff is snow. Not much, I know, but I'm soooo done with winter!

yikes, interesting game!
We've had snow all day today in Brampton, and I'm with you-so done with winter!
I remember watching the Jays and Twins play at the old Metropolitan Center in Bloomington MN during the 70's. Now we are on to yet another new stadium after the last .... the Metrodome. I saw the Twins win the World Series there!!
Our new stadium will be open next year.
Great photos, they brough back a few memories !!!
I wouldn't want to be hit with an umbrella! The throwing of things reminds me of being at a screeing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Sounds like a fun evening. Thank goodness for the enclosed stadium. Winter is trying to stick around a little longer.
We actually are having a thaw the last couple of days. Yay!
I'm so with you on the whole done with winter thing!
