why does it have to be the rogers centre? like the "Centre" makes is look like the an arena. It should be called Rogers field or they should called it the SkyDome agian.

centre is the british/canadian spelling of center. You've got a good point. About making it rogers field but I have a few ideas why it is named as such:
Rogers Centre - Rogers Communications is a big leader in electronics in Canada and I guess they are at the "centre" of communications? or the centre of toronto? I think I've found them a tag line. hehe
As its old name implies, Sky Dome isn't quite a field nor a dome so half the time its covered by a retractble roof. You can see the sky and the sunny weather but in foul weather it covers the staduim so it makes sense. I miss the old name.

The owners of Rogers bought the blue jays and the skydome. they renamed it to Rogers centre because they felt it would really help them promote their digital cable, mobile and Internet products all across Canada whenever the "rogers centre" was mentioned on TV during games.
As for centre,
I think it is lame too. Hey they changed the Palladium" to Scotiabank Place here in Ottawa....now that is even worse.

The person who made it wants it to be called that so that's what it's called.
