Toronto Blue Jays: We may as well embrace the turf

Hey, don’t shoot the messenger. I hate it too. It’s just that lately one gets a sense that any renovations that do take place will likely revolve around aesthetics and fan experience at the games. Those things make money for ownership. We have heard from Blue Jays management that installing real grass at Rogers Centre would be a colossal undertaking, with no guarantees of success. They had the University of Guelph study the physics behind if its even possible, and the results did not seem to have pushed the issue any further into reality.

The fact is, nobody is going to spend that kind of money with no guarantee of results, as that’s bad business.
