A clinched playoff spot with home-field advantage for the Toronto Blue Jays will bring a much-needed boost to businesses in Toronto and across Canada this fall.
The best-of-three American League wild-card series is set to take place at the Rogers Centre starting Friday after the Blue Jays secured the top seed on Monday.
When he realized the Blue Jays had a chance at a playoff run in the city, Bognar said his first thought was that it would be welcome news for the company's four restaurants and bars along Front Street: The Loose Moose, Scaddabush, Jack Astor’s and Duke’s Refresher.The Blue Jays last made the playoffs in 2020 but pandemic-related restrictions did not allow for any at-home games.
When Canadian teams do well in the Big Leagues, certain industries benefit. For example, revenue from what Statistics Canada calls the spectator sports industry grew by 8.7 per cent to $3.8 billion in 2019, attributing the bulk of that increase to the Raptors’ successful NBA championship run. That’s because the Jays and the Raptors are seen as national teams, said Andrew Weir, executive vice-president of Destination Toronto.
