The Toronto Blue Jays have played their home games at Rogers Centre in the downtown core of Toronto since June 1989. In a spring training interview, team president and CEO Mark Shapiro told Sportsnet's Shi Davidi that the stadium is in need of renovations.

On Tuesday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred echoed these sentiments.

"Given the passage of time the building is probably out of date in terms of the amenities that are available in many of our ballparks, the physical design of the stadium," Manfred said.

Rogers Centre is one of only seven active major-league ballparks built prior to 1990. The others have either seen extensive renovations (Dodger Stadium, Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Angel Stadium, Kauffman Stadium) or are in dire need of them (Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum).

Eyes have been on the stadium and potential renovations once again after a piece of ice fell from neighboring CN Tower, piercing the dome. The Blue Jays were forced to postpone a game against the Kansas City Royals because of the incident.

Even if the building is in relatively decent condition, Manfred says it needs an update to help "make it as economically viable as possible."

"I do know that there’s limited premium seating in this facility. In a market as robust as Toronto, if it were my club I’d probably want a lot more than you have," he added.

It may take a while as Shapiro said before the season that the Blue Jays "are the only major-league baseball team that is asked to completely privately finance a renovation of this scale."

For now, at least, it doesn't appear any public funding will be sought.
