A two-yr, $10 million roof upgrade, accomplished for the 2017 season, updated the aging OT network and control system to speed up the opening and shutting process, scale back monitoring staff necessities, and added a rooftop weather station to higher predict incoming weather methods. A centre-area porch (later named the WestJet Flight Deck) within the 200 Level was added following the removal of the windows of the previous Windows Restaurant (2013, $2 million). For the 2024 The Eras Tour by Taylor Swift, new antennas have been put in in the Rogers Centre for 5G Wi-Fi, at a value of $8 million. A new AstroTurf area was put in prior to the 2021 season. Proposed plans to lock Rogers Centre into its baseball configuration completely so as to install a natural grass floor pressured the Argonauts to relocate to BMO Field earlier than the 2016 season. However, the Blue Jays have long explored the possibility of converting the Rogers Centre to a pure grass floor, and plans had been examined in order to install a grass field by 2018 to allow sufficient time for analysis and rising of the sod.
