Bad timing as well as it was just a horrible moment in architectural philosophy/aesthetics when they built the Skydome as well. It was a small period in time when these ugly concrete lifeless domes seemed like the best idea for a stadium, I guess it was born out of the idea of having a multipurpose facility which still seems like the most practical use of a large chunk of land. However I think it was only 3 years after the completion of the Skydome that Camden Yards set a new standard of what people wanted out of a baseball experience.
Obviously a lot of extremely fond memories for the Jays at the Skydome! The location is second to none, which ownership understands, but it’s a horrible building for any major event really.
