SkyDome / Rogers Centre Built In Two And A Half Minutes

[tahir630247365]

Rogers centre is a stupid name. SkyDome is much better!

[denmar411]

Best music ever.

[Jeffyhardy28ful]

Skydome forever!!! i will never EVER call it the rogers centre

[dpoe68]

The refurbished BC Place is a much better sports venue.

[ricciryanify]

SkyDome was the name chosen by us tax payers and some big corporation buys it for a dime and calls it whatever they want. Not only are we costumers to this corporation, but are customers to the teams playing out of this stadium located in OUR city. We should have definitely of had a say in this decision before it was made. Yet, us all blogging about this here on YouTube won't really make anything change. I'm glad we're all on the same page here but word need to get out to Rogers.

[Purluc]

Still the most innovative stadiums in the world.

[allytron]

@Purluc do you mean most innovatively shit stadium?

[somewhatlongdong]

They should have gone with Rogers Skydome. Nobody calls it the Rogers Centre anyway, except for the media. Show a picture of the building to anyone in Ontario, and they'll say "that's skydome."

[allytron]

SkyDome is a truly awesome name.

SkyDome is also so shit that's it's cool again. I think it became kinda cool again around 2007 or so, after being total shit for approx 10 years.]

I wonder when it will be torn down.

[FlightSimmer948]

@allytron Never, it is a landmark, and suits the Blue Jays well!

[uhfnutbar1]

i hear the name gone back to the skydome : )

[skyking1488]

@uhfnutbar1 the skydome should stay rogers was video rent and in 89 now, they should keep the games maybe bill gates should buy it.

[Love4SK]

22 years old, and already outdated

[B0N3ZDJ]

i want a camera dat can record 4 2 nd a half years =(

[nuklz]

so i heard a rumor....this project should have cost half as much as it did.....but cement trucks were being diverted from the site up to markham to pour foundations for homes....any truth to that?

[Fanik10]

SkyDome or Rogers SkyDome would be cool. WTF, Rogers Centre??

[bvivian]

@Fanik10

yeah Rogers Skydome woulda rocked

[bellasara567]

This is so old like FUCK.

[GoalHornDude]

Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate warrior and The Rock vs Hulk Hogan were both hosted at the SkyDome

[83BigRed83]

Best song ever

[BlakePlaya]

it only took 2 and a half years to build it?

[animefreak86]

lmfao rogers centre is such a pathetic name... skydome ftw

[RichPrepKid8888]

Ufc 129 baby

[azztec]

Me and Dan-e-o at the Skydome



[skunkworks226]

Better now that they rename it the Ted Rogers Center... A great man

[BlueTeamPlayer]

@skunkworks226 MAN WAS A BAGGET

[ChrisMolyneaux93]

I would've liked it better if they renamed it to Rogers Skydome

[figure261]

lol look at toronto then and now XD

[1029Itachi]

UFC 129

St Pierre vs Shields FTW

[hawker800FO]

@1029Itachi UFC is gay, bunch of grown men grabbing each other

[1029Itachi]

@hawker800FO Dude, quit being a douche. You no nothing about the the sport. So shut the fuck up asshole.

[hawker800FO]

@1029Itachi i know nothing about it? i used to be a fan untill i relised how gay it is

[1029Itachi]

@hawker800FO How is it gay? If you don't like it when a fight goes to the ground and becomes technical with the BJJ and wrestling then go watch boxing or K-1. You're just some dumbass who enjoys watching fighters brawl and violently swing their fists. You have no appreaciation for the skills involved in MMA. So just shut the fuck up you asshole!

[hawker800FO]

@1029Itachi wtf is k-1 and bjj? and no i dont have appreaciation for a bunch of grown men who roll around on the ground together, with that french guy wearing tights its not gay? are you sure check again

[1029Itachi]

@hawker800FO Hey dumbass, K-1 is the best kickboxing organization in the world. BJJ is an acronym for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, one of the most popular martial arts right now. All that rolling around is called grappling or groundfighting. Plus your just jealous that "french guy" Georges St Pierre is more talented and better looking than your gay ass. Quit being hater you cunt.

[hawker800FO]

@1029Itachi first i didnt know wtf the acronym meant so fuck you. Me gay? bud i just got engaged to my girlfriend, more talented at what? grabbing dudes? yes i guess he is.

[1029Itachi]

@hawker800FO What the fuck is your problem. Georges St Pierre is one of the best fighters in the world. He's the UFC welterweight champion and a phenomenal athlete. 

[ivanjacksurmom]

FUCK ROGERS.. SKYDOME TILL THIS DOME DIES !

[TheTROLLerAMA]

@ivanjacksurmom ...which will be NEVER

[wandaslice]

I cant believe how empty the city looks ... there are sooooooo many more buldings around there now

[junk56]

looks just like sim city lol

[TheSubzerogr]

HULK HOGAN vs ULTIMATE WARRIOR

[MassacreBlast]

I live 40 minutes east of the SKYDOME. Stupid fucking Rogers Centre, what a bunch of bullshit. SKYDOME is obviously the name you give the greatest stadium ever.

[Herb615]

if you put in like 20,000 to 30,000 then it can host the final match if Canada wants to bid for 2026!!

[knowpassword]

Awesome.. However i seem to remember something negative about its construction in the press..

[Cyric1983]

I can only imagine how long it took to draw out the blueprints for this thing.

[retroguy1976]

skydome at the time was state of the art now its outdated to me since every other staduim had roofs that open

[sports8930]

i like rogers centre no changing it

[809redsox]

@sports8930 rogers centre is gay. stupid ted rogers. skydome is bomb.

[halifaxstar]

Great video. I also notice a few other buildings in the background rise up during this video. It would be cool to see a 10 year span of the Toronto sky line

[4emsteph]

@halifaxstar

Also cool are the buildings where the field will be that are demolished DURING the construction of the SkyDome.

[12ozshark]

the rogers centre sounds so shit lol, skydome was an awesome name

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

ugliest stadium in the mlb, whoeever designed this is gay

[Just1MoreRemixThen]

Haha good music syncing with the roof closing and opening, looks good wanna go and see this place one day

[Bus7777]

Always SkyDome! Never Rogers Centre.

[JustABiff]

@Bus7777 Why not just Rogers' SkyDome? Fucking Rogers!!

[GTAgamerHD]

@JustABiff they own everything, be hapy its still toronto blue jays and not rogers blue jays. FUCKIN' Rogers!

[garycalgary]

wow someone did timelapse back then

I liked the name SkyDome

[cheeseheadwife]

Let's just hope they don't wreck the view by building more ugly condos on the waterfront!!!

[cheeseheadwife]

I will always call it "Skydome."

[heroemission]

Wow, the city has grown up a bit since then. For the record; the signs may say Rogers Centre, but this building MUST only be referred to as SKYDOME

[luvgirlsfeet]

WOW!!!!!

[xxXDCXxxx]

dont the argoes play there too?

[Seoulmanaja]

Imagine after building the thing it didn't work....how crappy would have that been

[beatle11]

Coyboys Stadium is considered State of the Art now. When SkyDome was built, it was a similar thing.

[yvoe9]

there are many other retracteble stadium roofs in the world, but ours (Toronto) was the first, the only one to open all the way, and IS THE COOLEST! that lucas oil opening window one is cool too.... but NOT AS COOL, but faster...

[NessMencesal]

@yvoe9 Wrong. First was Civic/Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, completed in 1961

[yvoe9]

@NessMencesal really? because it said on the website (rogers center) its was the worlds first fully retractable stadium roof... oh well....

[itchymouse17]

@NessMencesal rogers centre was the first FULLY retractable dome, mellon arena's roof does not retract fully.

[SpideyFan1993]

WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA!

[pagazza]

From amazing technology to unbelievable transformation.<3<3<3

[nuppluc]

wow toronto has evolved throughout the years so much no buildings behind hte skydome at this time got there now its all it is

[islandtoisland]

I don't understand why pro wrestling is so popular in Canada.

[danielgirotto]

@islandtoisland uhhh..... why not?

[hockeymatt1994]

@islandtoisland Really? You dont understand how a country where beer is like moonshine and weed is legal could like wrestling?

Hmm, yeah its a mystery all right

[daveni2]

[bluesgurugod]

[RonBrasco]

[oblong125]

[thedab101]

[WWE2K9X]

1000% agree.

[caprokket]

[Tucker1Nonly]

[kiwi539]
