New features also include a boardwalk that wraps around the entire outfield, allowing fans the ability to stroll along the 360-degree access around the stadium. In right center field, an outdoor tiki bar beckons, and drink rails line the walkway so fans can stop and catch the action. There is a new LED scoreboard and Jays Shop, in addition to renovated bathrooms, concessions and suites.

History

Historical Name: TD Ballpark was originally called Dunedin Stadium at Grant Field. Grant Field opened in 1930 and was named after the mayor of Dunedin Albert J. Grant (served 1927-1928), who had donated the land.

The first Toronto Blue Jays game ever was played there on March 11, 1977 when the Blue Jays beat the New York Mets 3-1. From 1977-1989, the Blue Jays played at Grant Field, which had a seating capacity of 3,417.

The stadium has also been known as Knology Park (2004-2008) and Florida Auto Exchange Stadium (2010-2017). In November 2019, the Jays announced that TD Bank had acquired naming rights for the renovated stadium, which would be named TD Ballpark, as it is today.
