I've heard such things sometimes happen, but it's wild to me that people would ask for the dome to be closed, oblivious to the fact there's several thousand other people in the building.

You'd be surprised what some people say. Like you've just come in from single digit weather and expect to have a stadium that's a balmy 22 degrees? You've clearly worn clothing appropriate for the weather outside so suck it up.

In contrast TFC fans almost revel in it anytime there's inclement weather that makes the visiting players on the pitch the least bit uncomfortable

So do many American cities for baseball and football. That what kills me about Torontonians. Bunch of whiners.

Having that said, some of the stadiums that have retractable roofs for baseball are almost always closed cause of the heat. That's one of the big reasons Texas got a new stadium. The one thing I don't understand is if fans and players were complaining that it was too hot and couldn't play in that kind of heat, than how do kids in little leagues and all and minor league teams deal with it?

They suffer until they break. Prepared regulars bring tents, battery powered fans, and coolers full of ice.

Extreme heat a test for youth baseball | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

With field temperatures soaring above 150 degrees at times, 10-year-old baseball player Emmitt Anderson and his teammates from Alabama thought better of kneeling when they gathered near the mound for pregame prayers at a recent regional youth baseball tournament here.

I found this question interesting so took a look. I had expected to find a November through April baseball season in southern states or very early-morning game times.

Yeah I mean I guess the games are shorter, and the fans/parents have more options to get out of the heat for a bit.

Yup. Burn that bunker down. Put it beside the lake. Let’s get a view and not worry about people who want the dome closed for their comfort preferences. We need atmosphere and real grass to attract better players. Surely if we had a respectable ball park like stadium we wouldn’t neglect it. We only neglect the dome because deep down we know we should be burning that bunker down.

In the upper deck for the Jays vs Royals loss last night. Read after that attendance was around 27,000 in attendance which felt rather low for a Loonie dog Tuesday game

I am not surprised.

The on-field product this year is abysmal at best. Unless they have a team worth watching the attendance will continue to sink.

You can gussy up the stadium all you want but if the team makes the White Sox look good nobody will go to the games.

Another game today where this team can barely hit a beachball.
