Exhibition Stadium, Multi-purpose sports venue at Lake Shore Boulevard West, Toronto, Canada.
Exhibition Stadium featured a modern architectural design with open-air seating arrangements reaching from the field to the upper sections of the grandstand.
The stadium evolved from its initial 20,679 seats in 1948 to a maximum capacity of 54,000 spectators by the time it closed its doors in 1988.
The venue served as the first home field for Toronto Blue Jays baseball team from 1977 to 1989, marking the beginning of Major League Baseball in Canada.
The stadium location near Lake Ontario resulted in cold winds during games, leading spectators to bring additional layers of clothing throughout the season.
During the 1982 Grey Cup game, heavy rain forced thousands of spectators into concession areas, demonstrating the need for a covered stadium in Toronto.
