Yes Rogers Centre has certainly aged better then Olympic Stadium (not a surpised given the larger picture criminal mismanagment of Montreal 1976 funds) in its first 30 years.
Sounds like a new clubhouse and internals and my guess is seating changes to make it more premium in some 100 level.
Given location in Toronto and everything else, makes sense, and it's now basically a baseball only stadium.
Assuming it's some close variation of the field turf I'm used to, yes, it's about a 1.5" thick rubbery surface, and I assume MLB parks probably have even better stuff if it exists. Gone are the days of a 3cm layer of green carpet on cement that were in 1/4 of MLB parks 25 years ago.
