Again... Watching a Sky-Dome Transformation

Occasionally, when we go to Toronto, we stay at the hotel attached to the Sky-dome.


















When we do, Terry always asks for a room overlooking the stadium field.














He loves to watch a sporting event through the window - from the comfort of our hotel room.














(Sometimes he's even lucky enough to catch a pregame practice!)














For me, the fascination begins AFTER the game - when the stadium is transformed from one type of venue to another. Astroturf is rolled up and moved.














Sometimes a concert stage is put up.














Massive stage curtains are added.














Trucks arrive and unload.














The seating is rearranged - often some of the grandstands are moved!














For me, this "show" is more fascinating than any sporting event! I watch it, transfixed, like a spectator at a construction site in full operation!
