Jays buy the SkyDome

[Pogotheostrich]

$21 million seems like a bargain.

8-o $21 million seems like a bargain.

Not when it was built for $400 million using mostly taxpayer (my!) money.

The land is worth so much more than that.

Paul Godfrey said it's a fair price. lmao

and put on field turf...i actually like that.

the skydome is just so cold...especially at the 500 level

Field turf will be awesome..... that pale green carpet always bothered me. With the Argos getting a new home I guess the Jays figured why not buy the whole damn thing. And a new JumboTron - hmmm, the old one seemed fine. I believe it was the biggest Stadium TV in North America for a while (I might be remembering that from the opening ceremony in 1989 and it could be outdated). I'll buy the old one from them if it's on sale though
