The Blue Jays marked the 35th anniversary of their first game at Skydome, which opened shortly before with a celebratory gala. This event included notable performances such as those by Oscar Peterson and Andrea Martin. The article reflects on a personal experience of waiting to watch the game, only to face delays due to a lengthy feature on the ballpark’s features. In an overshadowed game, the Blue Jays lost to the Brewers, with pitcher Jimmy Key taking an unusually high pitch count in a game where the team struggled.
The most notable moment from this date is that the Blue Jays played their first game at Skydome—after a grand opening that showcased performances and festivities.
Despite my excitement to watch the Blue Jays, local coverage led us to a half-hour feature on the stadium's opening rather than the live game.
