Toronto Will Be Back Playing Home Games In Buffalo

The Toronto Blue Jays announced that on June 1, its home location will move to Sahlen Field — the home of the organization’s Triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons.

The Blue Jays will host fans in a limited 24% capacity at Sahlen Field, in accordance with local and state guidelines.

Ticket purchasers will receive a guide with additional Sahlen Field health and safety protocols. These include:

Tickets for the club’s first eight home games vs. the Miami Marlins on June 1 and June 2, Houston Astros from June 4 to June 6, and New York Yankees from June 15 to 17, go on sale on May 13.

The Blue Jays played the majority of their 2020 regular-season home games at Sahlen Field, finishing 17-9 at home.

"To prepare Sahlen Field for MLB regular season home games with fans under COVID-19 health and safety protocols, the Blue Jays and Bisons are undertaking a jointly funded renovation project, including the following upgrades that will be completed before June 1," the team said in a news release.

This includes moving the bullpens from off the field to behind the outfield walls, new batting cages built beyond right field, resodding the outfield grass, completing a full field replacement that began with the infield in 2020, new weight room and renovated clubhouse facilities and LED light bulb replacements plus two additional temporary lighting poles.
