Toronto Blue Jays

Rogers Centre in downtown Toronto has the retractable roof that started it all - this place was doing the whole "open the roof on nice days" thing before most other stadiums existed. When that roof slides open and you can see the CN Tower rising above the stadium, it's one of the best views in baseball. Yes, even though it's in Canada.

Blue Jays fans are intense. Like, way more intense than people outside of Canada realize. When this team is competitive, the entire country rallies behind them - they're the only MLB team in Canada, and the national pride factor is real. The 2015-2016 playoff runs had Rogers Centre louder than any stadium in baseball. The bat flip game? Joey Bats? That moment lives forever.

The food at Rogers Centre has gotten a significant upgrade in recent years. Peameal bacon sandwiches are the quintessentially Toronto move - a Canadian specialty you probably haven't had unless you've been here. Poutine is available everywhere and it's as good as you'd expect. For beer, Steam Whistle Brewing is literally next door to the stadium and worth a visit before or after.

Toronto itself is an incredible city for a baseball road trip. The Distillery District, Kensington Market, and the restaurants on King Street West are all worth exploring. After the game, the bars on Front Street and the Entertainment District are right there. You can walk from your seat to a patio bar in about five minutes. Blue Jays games combine great baseball with one of North America's best cities. That's a pretty hard combo to beat.
