Rogers is celebrating the Blue Jays’ 50th season by launching three new programs, including one neat job opportunity.
Named the Rogers Game Day Owner, the celebratory position “hands over the ownership” of the half-century-old Major League Baseball team to “the people who helped build the franchise.”
Rogers describes the opportunity with a classic phrase, writing, “If you’ve ever watched a game and thought, ‘If I owned this team…,’ this might be your chance.”
Open to fans across the country, Rogers is now accepting applications for a chance to win one of six exclusive experiences for one game during every month of the baseball season:
- April 7: World Series Rematch vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
- May 9: Barbie Day vs. Los Angeles Angels
- June 13: ALDS rematch vs. New York Yankees
- July 20: AL East matchup vs. Tampa Bay Rays
- August 20: ALCS Rematch vs. Seattle Mariners
- September 12: ‘Battle of the Birds’ vs. Baltimore Orioles
Successful applicants will enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime, all-access ownership experience that includes:
- Behind-the-scenes access to the Rogers Centre that includes the clubhouse
- Meet and greet with a Blue Jays player
- Watch batting practice with a ‘unique’ pregame on-field and dugout access
- Pitch team executives with your ideas for the franchise
- Meet broadcast personalities and tour the Sportsnet studios
- Sit in on Blue Jays manager media availability
- Watch the game from the new premium Rogers Terrace
- In-stadium recognition and a signed team jersey
- Private Jays Shop shopping spree
- Travel and accommodation in Toronto, which includes a hotel room within the stadium
Outside of the Rogers Game Day Owner, the two other programs include giving away 5,000 tickets to Rogers customers and Canada’s Winning Inning.
The 5,000-ticket giveaway is through the Rogers Beyond the Seat program and includes 500 tickets for opening night this Friday (March 27), tickets to the Rogers Landing, and 100-level seat upgrades throughout the season. The contest will launch this Wednesday (March 25) at 11 a.m. ET, and details of the in-person giveaway will be revealed at 7 a.m. ET on Friday, March 27, on Rogers’ Instagram account.
In terms of the ‘Canada’s Winning Inning’ program, if a Blue Jays player gets a hit during an identified ‘Winning Inning’, Rogers customers watching the Sportsnet broadcast will have a chance to win exclusive anniversary merchandise, autographed items, and VIP experiences by texting a designated number.
Rogers customers watching the game at the stadium will have the chance to win ticket upgrades to premium 100-level seats, discounts on food, drinks, and merch.
