Simply put, tailgating at Rogers Centre in Toronto sucks. Two simple reason for this major suckage.
1. The lack of outdoor parking lots around Rogers Centre makes tailgating nearly impossible.
2. Canadian provincial law prohibits the consumption of alcohol in public areas, like a stadium parking lot.

Alcohol

The Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre and Aramark Sports and Entertainment are determined to promote responsible alcoholic beverage sales and use, as outlined by "T.E.A.M." - Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management. Our goal is to ensure a safe and fun environment where alcohol service and consumption is managed responsibly.

Guests may not bring or leave Rogers Centre with any alcohol. Alcoholic beverages can only be purchased from authorized vendors once inside the facility. Guests must produce valid photo identification upon request for proof of age. All guests that appear to be 30 years of age or younger will be asked to provide proof of age for each transaction. Guests may have no more than two alcoholic beverages in their possession at any time. In-seat hawkers are restricted to serving only one (1) alcoholic beverage per guest. Alcohol service in all concession stands, luxury suites and Club VIP will end at the end of the seventh inning for Toronto Blue Jays baseball games, end of the 3rd quarter for football games and 1 hour before the scheduled end of a concert OR at the discretion of stadium officials. The Toronto Blue Jays, Rogers Centre, and its concessionaire (Aramark Sports and Entertainment) reserve the right to discontinue alcohol service for guests.

Guests found with unauthorized alcohol can have their ticket confiscated and be removed from Rogers Centre without compensation. There are designated alcohol-free seating sections on each level of the building for Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Argonauts games. Please contact the teams directly for more information on the locations of the alcohol-free seats. The following may result in ejection from Rogers Centre and/or possible prosecution:

• attempting to use fraudulent identification
