Merge 500 Level to Rogers Centre

The page 500 Level describes the upper deck at Rogers Centre. Since many things may have a section called "500", especially stadiums, that page name is ambiguous. There is also no evidence that the 500 level of Rogers Centre is independently notable - the page currently features only two sources, neither of which mention "500 level". The page 500 Level should therefore either be merged to Rogers Centre or deleted. (Note that the page was proposed for deletion on 19 February 2010, but that proposal was contested.)

• I vote No. I tried that originally, and it got deleted... everything was the same, so it will be better if we keep it the way it is now.BLUEJAYSFAN32 ^(TALK|JAYS) 18:35, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

• If it got deleted before and everything the same, that's more support for the fact that this isn't independently notable. A merge or a deletion is the best course of action here. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 22:21, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
• Support - No reason for the top level to have its own article. And while we're at it, delete half the content as opinion and unencyclopaedic. Canterbury Tail talk 23:29, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

• see 700 Level. should that be deleted too? thats where I got the idea from.BLUEJAYSFAN32 ^(TALK|JAYS) 13:14, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
  • That article should be merged with Veterans Stadium. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 15:11, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
    • I have proposed just such a merger. See Talk:Veterans Stadium. Cnilep (talk) 16:17, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

• Note any information merged into this article must be notable and have reliable sources. The information was previously deleted from this article as it lacked both. Isaac Lin (talk) 00:22, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
  • The article should be merged per above reasons. The article should be deleted, since there is nothing to salvage from there into here. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 03:11, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

• I don't see anything worth merging in that mess. After removing the crap about brawls, all that's left is ticket prices and a list of long home runs. I'm putting it up for deletion at AfD. caknuck _° needs to be running more often 08:48, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Facts and Figures

The last entry makes reference to it formerly being the most expensive stadium, but it incorrectly reports the price of Olympic Stadium as $2.48 billion in 2011 dollars. However, ignoring the fact that $1.6 billion is incorrect, that was the 2006 price when it was finally paid off and not the original cost in 1976. 184.145.201.116 (talk) 23:55, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Tenants

Please remember that where it lists "tenants" that a tenant for a stadium is an organization that uses the stadium/arena as their "home" venue. Things like Wrestlemania or even a championship game for a league (like if Rogers Centre hosted the Super Bowl) aren't considered "tenants" since they only used the stadium for a very short time (like a few weeks) and were never based at the stadium like a sports team. Stadiums and arenas host many events (concerts, rallies, conventions, other sporting events, etc.) from outside groups that aren't tenants. For Rogers Centre, the actual tenants are the Blue Jays and Argonauts with the Raptors and the International Bowl as past tenants. --JonRidinger (talk) 03:59, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Seating capacity

Can anyone provide corroboration for the seating capacity changing every few years? I find it unusual that it would change by so much each year. isaacl (talk) 01:14, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

There should be a discussion to how the number of seats change every year. Since it came from a book, it should mention about the seat number changes. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 02:03, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

The citations to web pages don't seem very authoritative to me. One of them seems to be a link farm (with a rounded off number for number of seats), another is just a box score. Does anyone have the Blue Jays media guides over the years, which should contain the seating capacities? isaacl (talk) 03:37, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

It seems that only the first few seating changes were from a book. We need to find Blue Jays media guides as well for the more recent seat number changes. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 14:03, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
