From the outside, the stadium is a very plain and unassuming concrete oval. The story is much different inside the turnstiles. The food selection was absolutely amazing!!! They had meat carving station (with a big slab of meat and a carver) as well as an Asian Wok station and a market where you could get fresh fruit, hand-tossed salads, fresh sandwichs and other unique food options beyond the $4 hot dog. The ballpark is in a great location; very close to water and right next to the CNN Tour (Toronto, and Canada's, pride and joy).

Stories from the Road
The visit to Toronto was a short one. I drove from Detroit to Toronto the morning of the game and left the Canadian city immediately following the game to go to Pittsburgh. However, I did arrive in Toronto well before the game started, and, as a result, had time to walk around the city a little. I walked down King St (which has a lot of bars and restaurants), and walked around the area near the stadium, which is located right next to the CN Tower. A local brewery next to the stadium was offering tours and had a local burger place grilling right outside.
It was very hot during the day with the sunning beating down on the stadium throughout the day game. I ended up getting really sunburned on my arms. Joy.
