Was this THE WORST upper deck in MLB? Not anymore! Exploring the new 500 Level at Rogers Centre
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2023
- Who the hell wants to be in the 500 Level? Umm, now EVERYONE does at Rogers Centre in Toronto. It used to be an ugly waste of space, but it's been transformed in Phase 1 of a $300 million renovation. It's not exactly the best place to catch home run balls, but what a cool area. Other MLB teams should take notice!
The Blue Jays faced the Chicago White Sox, and batting practice was better than the day before (given the fact that there wasn't a Bobblehead giveaway), so I had an easier time snagging a few baseballs. After that, it was all about exploring the upper deck, and ultimately I ended up in the standing room area on the 100 Level in right field.
April, 25, 2023. Fun game. Fun stadium. And if you want to check out a fun website and have a chance to win $100 USD, go here:

:D
@@zackhample mlb needs to not ban you
Always a great day when Zack uploads a video!! Thank you Zack for taking the time to make and edit these videos for us!
Thanks, that means a lot. Thank YOU for watching.
Nobody Does It Better Than Zack Hample! ⚾️⚾️⚾️
Thanks you for sharing. I was also at that game. 2 days ago Rogers Center reveled the 2024 renovations, WOW !!
All the low bowl is upgrade and the field dimension have change a little bit in both outfield foul line
I see myself already in the first 2 mins. I was lucky enough to meet and interact with Zack multiple times throughout the game, definitely a memorable moment
Glad we connected and that it was a good day for you.
Man I love the vibe of these videos!! Always seems like such a good time at these games, I especially love how you give away the balls to the kids, that’s awesome! Definitely gonna go back through the catalogue after this :D
Thanks so much and hope to see you again soon.
love these videos! nothing quite like getting there early to watch BP and explore the stadium
Hi Zack, I just wanted to leave a comment to let you know how much I love your channel, you are always positive and kind, I hate that you get hate, I hope you have a great day!
Thanks, Eli. With the NY Post blocked from my Google News feed and Twitter now something that I totally ignore, my life is much much better. The haters are screaming into the void.
Thanks Zach for always making amazing content and it's so cool how each stadium looks from both the outside and inside!
Zack, btw
As my first boss in architecture would say, "Given enough time and money there's nothing we can't accomplish."
That upper deck is definitely a contender for “best view in a Major League venue.” I’d want to go back there when the Yankees are in town and Aaron Judge can launch 400+ foot missiles up there.
(P.S. great vid as always! :D)
More like 475, but if anyone can do it, it's him.
Go Yanks
We have some legendary upper tank shots to the 5th Deck. Conseco,Big Mac,Delgado,Joe Carter,Edwin Encarnacion, plus some others I just can't remember their names but the longest was Manny Ramirez (499) beating Mac's (489) but Judge hasn't made it yet. If he does he will be in good company.
Ha, going to the game on Monday
First time viewer from MTL here.
Went to my first ever MLB game last september at Yankee Stadium and had a blast. This video is really tempting me to make the trip to Toronto this summer for a game or two lol. Keep up the good work.
👍
The fans from Taiwan! Thank you for doing this, Zack! I never came to watch any games of MLB in person. But I'm so pumped and feeling like I'm there just by watching your video.
You're welcome!
Zach you’re the man! Never a dull moment watching your vids
Wow what a beautiful renovation
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT THAT STADIUM AS A KID!
once again love the Toronto vlogs Zack Lets go jays
I’m really hoping that these renovations turned Rogers Centre from a bottom 5 park, to at least a top 20. They’ve done a great job restoring it with these renovations that make the fan experience so much better, as well as making the park more visually appealing.
For sure! It's a really cool place now with more good stuff on the way.
@@zackhample the lower bowl renovation is going to be insane
@@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigiwhen’s lower bowl?

Zachary!! Great episode on Rogers stadium. It looks amazing. It was always a technical marvel and beautiful stadium but it was built for football, soccer etc. It wasn't a purely baseball venue so you had the classic bad spots for viewing. There was talk of tearing it down and building a smaller more intimate venue but I'm glad they didn't as it would take years but also very wasteful. Renovations are the better way to go. You can do them within an offseason and don't lose the history. Thanks for coming over the boarder and having some fun.
I agree and you're very welcome.
Thanks for doing this, I was hoping you'd do a review of the new outfield areas at Rogers as I've been a little on the fence about the changes. Standing through a whole game wouldn't be my idea of fun but I see what you mean about a really great view if you're up front.
FYI. Conehead 79 is a beer vendor in Buffalo, the AAA team fo the Jays. The Jays played here during Covid.
Great video, Zack! Keep up the great work!
Lol that's me at 4:47 top left corner of screen with the blue bucket putting the finishing topping on the sliding lines 😄
:D
I’m going to my first baseball game and your videos are very informative about what to do keep up the good work 💯
Good luck!
Great video. Love the upper deck renovations. Funny to see the Jays dominating after my Red Sox have been dominating them this week.
Thanks, Aidan. The Jays are good and there's nothing funny about it. :p
It was definitely surprising to see a sweep but none of the AL East teams are bad right now - it's just a matter of who is better that day. And full credit to the Red Sox - they chewed through a rotation that had been locking it down the past couple of weeks.
Im from Toronto. Great to see someone enjoying the new renovation. You got a new subscribers to ur channel.
Thanks! Glad you found me.
So cool you got to see the renovation and that you liked them. Hope you had fun in 🇨🇦!
Sure did, thanks!
Another Winner Zack! The sped-up ramp shot into top deck reveal is STUNNING! We love MyGameBalls & LOVE SURVIVOR POOL! Big thanks to those MGB guys for making it happen!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed that.
I go to alot of home Jays game throughout the season, i absolutely love it!!
This is probably my favorite stadium you have been to. So many cool things to do.
Such an amazing experience at Rogers center
Food & Beverage’s seem reasonable there in Toronto . I just paid 18 USD for 2 polish dogs at Comerica Park last night . Tigers Vs Mets 5/3/23
Can't wait for your next video at Comerica park showing the new dimensions , seating, and hopefully it will be a night game to see the new powerful lighting.
I need to make it there at some point.
Wow, that place is 1980s futuristic cool! I will have to make a trip to Toronto!
great vid zack really love you filming the new renovations hopefully i meet you at yankee stadium one of these days but thanks for the content
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Dope Vidéo Zack
Shout Out Fenway & Rachel
I've sat in the wastelands of Skydome a few times. Went opening week and was amazed. If they could modernize the façade on the hotel now, it would be perfect. I usually only go to watch my Tigers play the Jays, but I could watch a few more games in this updated park. I'm not switching teams though 😉
That 500 level is pretty nice now.
Hey Zack! Big fan of your channel! I wanted you to know that you are my favorite RUclipsr and follow your journey everywhere you go. And 1 question; are you coming to Milwaukee this year?
Thanks but I'm really not sure.
Love the rooftop. It’s fantastic.
Beautiful stadium you know you are very lucky Zack I wish I could go all around with you I guess but if I was able to go to all stadium’s all summer it would be great but keep doing what you are doing I am a big fan dude keep posting. 👍⚾️
Thank you! And yeah, I know I'm lucky. I do appreciate what I get to do.
That's a great looking ball park! Staying in the hotel and going to a game there is on the bucket list! BTW, was watching the NYY CLE highlights yesterday and saw your intern Max caught Calhoun's HR. Boys got skills 😄
I was so happy for Max!
More stadiums should have hotels built in. It would be so much easier as a fan and parent to check in the previous night wake up refreshed and barely have to move to catch the game
And to pay like $700 per night?
@@zackhample work hard play hard 😏
This dome is so freakin' dark with the roof closed. Depressing. Really nice, though, when open.
Love you bro big fan keep up the MLB videos new subscriber! :)
Thanks and welcome!
Hello from Tampa Bay! Great video as usual! It’s crazy to see the Rays dominating. They remind me of the Yankees last year. Now the Yankees are just getting killed with injuries smh it’s a shame lol I’m a Yankee fan
Helloooooo, Tampa! The Yankees will bounce back soon as they always do.
@@zackhample yes sir!!!!
rip@@zackhample
We need to get this man to One mil subs
I agree!
The Almighty Bunghole has gone to the SkyDome. I just want to dance until I end up in the Emergency Room. Joy!
I went to the Dodgers vs Phillies game on Tuesday. About the bot 5 I got a ball from Castellanos but dropped it and the security gave it to me... got it signed so that was a plus after the 1-13 loss
I’m literally your biggest fan! Hope you have an amazing day Zack!❤
Nope, I am indeed Zack’s number one fan, sorry Luke!
@@aidanfinkofficial sure. But I am the true number one fan. Sorry Aiden!
How about we try and get Zack himself to find out who the real number one fan is!
@@LukeXD_60 Well, Aiden DOES run an Insta account dedicated to me . . .
@@zackhample oh, ok, fair enough!
I shall be one of your biggest fans.
Good to know the white sox are generous this year. Heading up to cincy tmr
Zack, you’re awesome. Thanks.
Zack too bad you can’t come out to a padres vs dodgers game! Petco park gets postseason crazy; the energy in that ballpark is electric!
Cleveland is also getting some renovations in the coming years too Zack!
Oh yeah? Is there any more info about it that you can point me to?
Me encanta en Baseball este video me encanto, saludos desde Venezuela
Glad you had a good time at the Rogers centre and the new outfield oh yeah great video Zack 👍
:)
i was behind you during the balls ad!!!! you smell so good :)
What did he smell like?
Love your videos Zach ❤❤❤
Zack*
nice to see ya in my home park hopeing to meet you one day love your videos.........been to like 10 ball parks
Thanks! 10 is a solid number. Keep going!
Love the new look stadium
As a Canadian near Toronto I personally think we have the coolest stadium. So many factors that contribute to it aswell.
Hey Zack i know it's super-early but do you like anybody to surpass the Rays in the AL east this year? Can't believe the Yanks are last.
My kids and I are looking forward to your upload of that crazy homerun derby in Mexico city. Hope you can do some sort of vlog about that and show us some of the city!
I don't think the Rays will be beaten this year in the AL East. No vlog from Mexico aside from the games. I was with a small group and two of the people didn't want to be filmed so that kinda killed it.
May the 4th be with you Zack. Great content
Ha, thanks.
Zach do u know when the gates open? Because I am going their in May 19th
Bro I remember when I went in 2018 to the SkyDome the 500 level was so dead , man they did so many upgrades
Blue Jays park looks great!
Get to Wanderin’, Franco! ⚾️🤣
Hi zack I’m from Buffalo, the cone head jersey is from a Buffalo bisons beer vendor who literally wears a cone head
Great VIdeo ZACK!! Is this the only time you'll be in Toronto this year?
Probably.
Hey Zack great video 📹 keep up the great work
Thanks, Chief!
@@zackhample👍👍
After seeing the jays get swept in Boston, good to watch this and feel proud of my team again 😂 upfraded stadium looks amazing! Cant wait to go!
Zack have you ever thought of making a montage of catching all toss ups. Obv a lot of work goin through all your vids and clipping them just for 2-3sec clips of catching toss ups/homeruns etc. random but would maybe be cool to make one day. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey zack, is there spaces to sit down during the game?
Yo Zach love the video hope to see you in Philly on may 24
Zack*
I was wondering how their renovations turned out
Zack i recommend going to a Pittsburgh Pirates game (they aren’t that bad this season) and order tickets for the home plate club you order food plus if it is a 12:00 12:15 game you get breakfast buffet and if it is a later game you get a dinner buffet and there is an ice cream bar and snacks are free
YUM!!
Hey Zack Ive been watching you for about 5-6 years keep up the great work! Also, will you be going to Oakland if they have another reverse boycott? Once again keep up the good work cheers from San Antonio Texas
Cool seeing my mygameballs account in the video!!!
:D
Are you going to be in Seattle at all this year?
That walkway up has such a ghastly grey to it. At the very least, they could put some Blue Jays decor on there so its not just so bland and boring.
I agree.
You should come back to isotopes park in Albuquerque
Thanks Zack!! Yeah buddy
Live in Toronto. Go to 20 games or so a year. Been to all 30 ballparks. The only one worse than Rogers Centre is Oakland.
I love your 3,000 A rod hit that you caught. Unbelievable.
:)
Love your videos
Thanks for watching.
Serious upgrades
I was at this game, wish I saw you! 🎯
what time did you arrive at the gates?
You're likely not a big drinker but have you noticed a big difference with people not buying bud light at games? I'm a season ticket holder at Wrigley and the bud light stands around the concourse are empty lately. Pretty crazy to see no one drinking bud lights. I am enjoying the new beer bats at Wrigley though pricey!
I haven't noticed. I only overheard a few guys at Yankee Stadium talking about how they wouldn't drink it. Coincidentally they were the most obnoxious human being I've encountered all season.
Always liked the Rogers center,glad to see it got upgraded, hopefully they stop talking about tearing her down now
Who else would love to see a stadium ranking video from Zach
welcome back to Canada
Hey Zack, think you can make it out to Atlanta on Memorial Day weekend?
My vertigo would be bad lol. So high up
Conehead is a well known beer vendor in Buffalo, I’m assuming that is what that jersey was about.
Ahh, I was wondering.
Zack, have you ever visited Nokona Gloves in Nocona,TX? My daughter andI are driving all the way from Houston to buy her a new glove. Just thought I'd ask. Best, Nelson from Houston.
I have not but hope you guys have fun!
great video dude
Thanks!
behind home in the 500s is great for games
can't wait to see your mexico city vids. did you catch a homerun?
Nope. Zack needs to get on the board for home runs in 2023.
Is Having a snowball fight with pitching great Randy Johnson a bad idea?
