The Toronto Blue Jays have the chance to claim a third World Series title – and they can do it on home soil.A 32-year wait will come down to two of the best words in US Sports – Game 7 – as the Dodgers and Blue Jays face off at Rogers Centre on Saturday.GettyRogers Centre can host just under 40,000 fans for MLB[/caption]GettyThe stadium’s retractable roof was unprecedented at the time[/caption]A thrilling series will go the distance after the Dodgers took Game 6 with a 3-1 in Canada, meaning that for the first time since 2019 the Fall Classic will last a full seven game.Just one more triumph is needed for the Blue Jays – who must also overcome the home team jinx that has seen the last four deciders won by road team, in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019.The last time a home team were victorious in Game 7 was the St. Louis Cardinals win over the Texas Rangers in 2011 – the Blue Jays have still have a shot at an historic night, but have blown their first chance.Rogers Centre’s place in MLB historyBuilt in 1989 as the SkyDome, Rogers Centre is the sixth-oldest stadium in MLB and the first to boast a retractable roof, thanks to an incredible feat of engineering that tamed Toronto’s brutal winters.The iconic ballpark, which would have cost US $900 million in today’s prices, has already seen back-to-back World Series triumphs in 1992 and 1993, but was starting to show its age.A $285 million renovation saw the arena completely revamped with seats widened and improvements made to the concessions in time for the 2024 season.The dome, which also houses the Raptors and Argonauts, is a beloved piece of downtown and Blue Jays President and CEO Mark Shapiro hopes work will extend its lifespan by over a decade.Unfortunately, with a wave of building taking place across the major sports leagues, it is hard to stay competitive without matching rivals in an ever-expanding arms race.Taxpayers are footing much of the bill for projects, but the Blue Jays proudly boasted about using entirely private funds.“Every single one of our competitors throughout Major League Baseball would have been supported with a public-private partnership. This undertaking was completely privately financed,” said Shapiro.GettyThe Dodgers will have to win twice in Canada[/caption]GettyToronto’s skyline provides a stunning backdrop[/caption]Asked by local outlet The Globe and Mail why that path wasn’t considered, he replied: “No one here even thought that was an option, or a possibility.“It wasn’t something we felt was appropriate. There’s no precedent for it.”Some eyebrows were raised when Toronto presented the renovation plan, given that the Blue Jays are potentially eyeing a new home in the not-too-distant future, but the hope is that increased revenue will offset the costs within 10 years.“Ticket prices, sponsorships, F&B [food and beverage] – all the different areas that could be impacted,” Shapiro said. “There’s a sophisticated [business] model, and it’s safe to say it’ll get paid back long before we have to think about a new ballpark.“The way you’re thinking about the money is not at all the way they [owners Rogers Communications] think about money.“At the time they allocate capital, we’re one of a lot of major projects for them, like wireless infrastructure.GettyA new site may have to be found in future[/caption]GettyThe Blue Jays began their journey at Exhibition Stadium[/caption]“Something had to be done with this building. Either you have to tear it down and build a new building – you’re talking billions of dollars – or you’re just going to handle it like a team like Oakland handled it maybe, and just kind of patch it as you go.“But you’ve got to decide. Those are the two ranges, right? Completely new building – two-to-three billion – or just doing maintenance and upkeep. Or something in between.”Success has come at a price — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on a $500 million contract — and that cash has to come from somewhere.“We’ve been losing a lot of money,” said Shapiro. “The largest expense is always player payroll. It’ll offset some of those losses.”Will the Blue Jays build a new stadium?There is only so far a lick of paint and new seats can do — sooner or later, the 36-year-old stadium will need to be replaced.Whether that is on the same site — a former railway switching yard that was turned into the once unprecedented SkyDome — or another is still open for debate.Shapiro explained to The Globe and Mail: “The next step is to kind of pull back, evaluate, think about alternatives, determine whether continuing with renovating this building is the right way to go, or whether to consider a new stadium here or a new stadium somewhere else. Those questions have to be considered. Not for a couple of years.”The Blue Jays have come a long way from their awkward first home — a converted football field which was never suited to baseball.A passionate fanbase has been there from the beginning and could be about to celebrate a third World Series victory since moving into the Rogers Centre.On the field, the foundations are laid for future success. Off it, there is plenty of work to do.Stay up to date with the latest from MLB across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
