Toronto, ON - COVERMASTER® has been providing outfield stadium padding for the MLB’s Toronto Blue Jays since the opening of what was then called “SkyDome” in 1989. In fact, the final padding was selected for the retractable-roof stadium by testing various samples at the Blue Jays spring training stadium in Dunedin, Florida. Over the years, COVERMASTER® has provided various updates to the stadium wall padding in what is now called the Rogers Centre, but the best was yet to come.

Well prior to the announcement that Rogers Centre was going to receive some $300 million in renovations for the 2023 season, COVERMASTER® was already brought on board to provide the new baseball wall padding for the completely reconfigured outfield sections. The former walls and outfield fencing would be replaced with a series of new fan social areas, raised bull pens with fans at eye level, and a non-symmetrical outfield fence line that’s unique in both height and dimensions.

COVERMASTER® was tasked with the production and installation of all new outfield wall padding. In addition to the custom, made-to-measure wall padding, a custom, navy blue color more representative of the Toronto Blue Jays was selected. Months of planning went into this major project and by February of 2023, COVERMASTER® installation team was onsite to get the new wall padding in place well prior to opening day in March. The final result speaks for itself as COVERMASTER® hits yet another home run with its part in the new Rogers Centre reno!
