Game or Concert!?
The Rogers Center is a great place to have some fun, have some drinks and see what happens next. It has the capacity to suit a lot of people as well as take the center stage. I have seen a few games in this arena and it is not to be missed. The fans are great and the beer is always flowing. It is a good idea to ensure that you always have cash on you, the interac machines are few and far between!
