| - SkyDome is an odd place. On one hand, it is a dead end in the evolution of sports venues in North America. It is the best multi-purpose stadium around, but there are only two other multi-purpose stadiums in North America (Oakland Coliseum and Landshark/Joe Robbie/ProPlayer Stadium) and those will be single purpose soon.
On the other hand, when it was built, it bucked a trend to locate a stadium in the deep suburbs, this being in the heart of Toronto. In a way, SkyDome both out of date and ahead of its time. If replaced the field turf with grass, the concrete with brick and make it baseball only, this would not be unlike Camden Yards, Pac Bell Park or any of the new ballparks constructed in the last 15 years.
Still concessions were good, sightlines were pleasant The concourses were a little bit narrow. This place has been maintained well and the game day experience is very good. When the roof is closed, the place is an echo chamber, feels more like a hockey or basketball game than a baseball game.
