Visitors a week ago Monday Monday night to see the Blue Jays battle the Detroit Ti-' gers doubtless felt guilty if they, dropped a hot dog wrapper or even the occasional occasional peanut shell anywhere anywhere near the dome: this visitor certainly did. And although although there appeared to be a baseball game in progress down on the field, few of the 48,000 spectators noticed much of what was happening happening until well into the third inning. The neck-craning begins about two blocks from the sparkling new complex as the crowd pushes along Front Street from Union Station, weaving its way among the hot dog vendors and scalpers. (The poor ticket ticket scalpers are really going to miss the old stadium!) Each restaurant and shop along the new dome route proudly displays its brand new baseball theme. The anthem, anthem, "Let/s Play Ball" screams out of speakers in front of the most unlikely stores. The dramatic sculptures which adorn the northern end of the dome bring the fan, player, and manager to life. Passing through the turnstiles on the way to the plush SkyClub seats (friends with season tickets are an invaluable asset) takes less time than checking out of your local grocery store. The concept of a lineup has been virtually banished from the site. Neon lights and bright coloured markers offer fans their bearings upon entry. Section 232 is about 50 feet down a generously wide corridor corridor dotted with concession stands (SkyDome sweatshirts: sweatshirts: $45, trendy dome suspenders: $25), food outlets outlets (a McDonald's and Lo- blaws joint venture), and beer outlets ($3.30 per). No mure than ZUU people access their seats from the ramp leading to section 232, and no more than 10 ever choose to come or go at the same time. From the SkyClub (second (second tier, most of the way around), the gently sloping field level seats lie directly below, and the luxurious private private playpens for Toronto's gentry class perch above. With a set of binoculars and the proper positioning, a second second deck fan can zoom in on the television which accompanies accompanies each private box. At the game on Monday, June 12, many people split their television time between the Leonard-Hearns fight and the action on the field. People sitting in seats which ring the upper edge of the stadium will need to be reminded that they are not sitting in the greys at Maple Leaf Gardens. Unlike Exhibition Stadium, Stadium, a quick trip to purchase a hot dog before the game starts does not end up consuming consuming most of the first inning. inning. Very much like the old park, it does end up consuming consuming large parts of your wallet. wallet. Ajplain five-inch hot dog goes for $1.75 while a "deluxe" "deluxe" dog fetches $3.25-a hefty price hike for the benefit benefit of a crusty bun with some sesame seeds. Six McDonald's McDonald's chicken McNuggets are $3.19, and 20 of the little little morsels cost a whopping $9.49. (In Oshawa the same portions sell for $2.39 and $6.29 respectively). Coffee is available for 99 cents (59 cents in Oshawa), and small french fries go for $1.59 (Oshawa: 99 cents). The biggest problem with the food is tne bags and wrappers which are left two innings later when the food is not. Dropping them on the ground seems heretical. But walking back to throw them out is just plain silly. (Stacking (Stacking garbage neatly beneath ■ the seats is a compromise which will sooth the conscience.) conscience.) A further tip: if you want a twist twirl ice cream cone, get it before the ninth inning when the ice cream in tne machine will have melted. When the roof on the dome is closed, a crowd of 48,000 sounds like 4,800. Strangely, the roof does not bounce the sounds around and amplify the effect of the clapping and cheering. Rather, Rather, it absorbs the noise, leaving leaving each section responsible for its own cheering. Across the crisp sound system (each section is provided with its own speaker) comes the silky-smooth voice of Blue Jay announcer Murray Eldon. Eldon. In an environment where everything is shiny and new, his familiar introductions introductions and reminders provide provide some sort of anchor to the fan (there are many) whose head does not stop bobbing around for three hours. There is such a thing as Dometime. With the roof closed, there is no sun or moon to offer a reminder that the outside world is marching right along, unconcerned unconcerned about the fate of that fly ball or stolen base attempt. Someone seated nearby commented that she didn't even feel as though she was still in Toronto.

Sure, there is some, but it is mixed successfully with the occasional jazz piano or Louis Armstrong tape. It is the music of yesteiyear, in the dome of tomorrow, at a game for all time, past and present. Someone next to us arrives arrives back at his seat sporting sporting a SkyDome cap ($12). If he had opted for the Blue Jay shorts he would have needed $28. A constant source of amusement and amazement is jumbo tron, the King Kong-sized scoreboard which dominates centre field. Replays flash back in sharp colour constantly tugging tugging a fan's attention away from the field. The operator of the board presumably lists baseball bloopers as one of her favourite parts of the game. An endless series of bungles and bobbles occupies occupies the screen between innings. innings. The majority of be- tween-inning scoreboard viewing, however, is consumed consumed with commercials. The massive scoreboard is to advertisers what the assembly line was to the automobile automobile industry: a quantum quantum leap forward. As a captivated captivated crowd of nearly 50,000 sits glued to the string of advertisements on a nine-storey wide screen enhanced by the sound echoing echoing from dozens of high-tech speakers, the sponsor simply simply must drool .(Imagine the impact subliminal advertising advertising would have on concession concession sales if it weren't illegal). illegal). SkyDome is reminiscent of Disney World: it takes more than a day to take it all in. The sights and sounds of the place are overwhelming; overwhelming; not even the excessive hype surrounding its opening opening has dampened the awe one feels inside the dome. It does not disappoint. On this Monday, the Blue Jays rescue a 5-4 victory from a one run deficit in the bottom of the 11th inning. Kelly Gruber slaps a clutch double off the left field wall, chasing home Tony Fernandez Fernandez and Nelson Liriano. The crowd erupts and slowly exits exits into the night. As exciting exciting as the game was, though, it ranked a definite second to the main attraction: attraction: SkyDome. The YWCA once again is running summer camps for children this year.
