BurlyMan56 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone was making the trip up there this weekend. I'm leaving tomorrow with a couple college buddies as a roadtrip before school again. Anyone recommend the bars or whatever while we're there? We're looking forward to drinking legally with the canadian beer Take it easy guys and I'll try to bring a White Sox Sweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hopefully Geddy Lee will attend at least one of the games. The Sox usually win when he's in attendance, although he does like to go when Halladay is on the mound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Barto Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 There is lots to do around the stadium in terms of bars and other stuff. Saw a couple of games up there last month and had a great time. Have a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun...Soxtalk will be with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I so wanted to, but it was hell trying to get a visa. I know, I know, I could try to sneak into Canada through Havana. But I'd be nervous the whole time that I'd be caught by Customs. It's just not in me. In any case, good luck, and vive la resistance!

SnB Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 that stadium sucked (was there when the roof was closed) but the city was real cool, like a mini-chicago, except alot cleaner, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 A co-worker of mine is up there for the weekend visiting family and going to the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a couple of games up there last month and had a great time. Have a good time. I was in Toronto about 10 years ago. Didn't make it to a game at what was then called the SkyDome, but it's right in the middle of a downtown entertainment district that reminded me of River North. Wayne Gretzky at that time had a bar within half a block of the stadium, 99 Blue Jay Way. I bumped into Mark Messier and Grant Fuhr there.

Unless you have been up there, its hard to explain. The people are nicer, life is a little slower, Toronto is a lot cleaner. Its a beautiful city. Chicago has been cleaned up a lot over the last 10-15 years, but it is no where close to Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Good friends of ours that went to Toronto last summer said just the opposite about its cleanliness. He's a huge Blue Jays fan so it surprised us when he said that. Maybe it was just the areas he and his wife visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
