Public= $400million 1993 (cost +debt)

Sold to Interbrew for $150 Million (!!!!) in 1994

Dome under bankruptcy protection 1998

Bought out of bankruptcy protection for $85 million by Sportsco International

And finally in 2004 Rogers (evil empire)buys it for $25 Million....4% of what it cost to build it!!!!! Ya think they'd leave the name.....

Man were WE suckers.

Well, almost everyone agreed the Dome was a good idea. Now all we have to do is get the name changed back to The Dome! Rogers Centre my ass!

@adzwild ...Like trimming those eyebrows!!...

I still call it the Skydome. I'm sick of every Hockey Arena and New Baseball Stadium called "Centre" Fck Air Canada Centre. It should be called the Air Canada Maple Leaf Gardens. The Molson Centre should be called the Molson Forum. The stinken greedy American Corps started calling everything this Centre and Field crap. They still call Yankee Stadium and Dodger Stadium by their original names. The Most Title Winning Teams in the NHL should always be called by their Original Names.Fck Corp Americ

I can't tell if I'd bang this woman or not. She's quite interesting looking.

Skydome is so fuckin' shit!!!

This place should still be called SkyDome. I walk by it almost weekly - a part of my childhood was lost when they renamed it.

Thalia Assuras=Nick Kypreos' cousin

Nick Kypreos fucked Good Morning America's Joan Lunden (well-known if you were in NYC around '94)

White elephant stadium=Still there

If we waited just 5 more years we coulda had a retro dome=Camden Yards+roof =Safeco or the ones in Milwaukee and Houston

But we didn't and despite being the epicentre of baseball excellence in 1992 and 1993, people said our stadium would be abandoned.

But we're BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
