The Rogers Centre, a baseball stadium and hotel, opened in 1989. It was designed by Rod Robbie and Michael Allen. It originally included a hotel, but that has been sold separately.

Wow ... concrete instead of glass ... only little better.
But good for a photo. Well done.

Thanks, Leon. This isn't the worst brutalist building in Toronto, Robarts Library at University of Toronto has the extra added feature of looking like an enormous turkey (it was intended to look like a peacock).

Excellent composition and balance. Beautiful (though I'm sure many will disagree with that word for such a building).

Thanks, Old Owl. Yes, we haven't settled on what beauty is yet. I think all the power and telephone lines along city streets here are a form of sculpture, but many consider them visual blight.

Great kind of abstraction - what is, finally, this concreteization of the world ...

I apologize for not noticing your comment long ago, Eric. This is actually the last of the concrete baseball parks, so there is hope. It was opened in 1989, just when the rest of North America was deciding it was tired of ugly concrete stadiums that looked like toilet bowls. So all the ones in the States were replaced by more appealing ones. So there is hope. Toronto's still got this one, though.

Plenty of places inside the stadium but no room for artistic details in these walls!

The place is a giant eyesore, José. The only thing anyone cared about was that it was the first stadium with a retractable roof.
