So I became fan of the team and had a great ride through two world series championships. I do a agree for the most part things around the Rogers Centre have improved. The concourse is much better. The team store is great, well sort of. The old team store you could not move in when it got full, and you could not get to it from inside the stadium. The one problem with the store is the prices. I expect to pay a high price, but not double the price you would pay for an item in Cleveland. And then you add on the nuts Canadian sales and it is more the double what it should be. Take for example the short sleeve windbreakers. An Indians one in Cleveland is $50. In Toronto it is $109. And the exhange rate is like .06 which adds up to almost nothing. Time for the Jays to drop some prices and maybe you will see people in the stands wearing Jays stuff like you see in other big league parks.
