Play ball! Sports have come back to Toronto after two years of pandemic limits, and fans are itching to get into the seats. With most major Toronto sports venues just blocks from DelSuites locations, you’re in a winning spot to catch a game.<\/p>\n

So if you’re a sports fan visiting Toronto, here are the best games you can catch this spring and summer: both major-league and underground.<\/p>\n

Baseball: The Toronto Blue Jays<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Jays<\/a> haven’t played at home since the COVID-19 pandemic started, so excitement for the 2022 season is high. With a homegrown lineup full of 2021 All-Stars\u2014and a pitching staff that’s finally got itself right\u2014a day at the ballpark is going to crackle this year.<\/p>\n

The Rogers Centre is literal steps from Element<\/a> and Icon<\/a>\u2014three minutes’ walk down the block!\u2014and a short walk from 10 York<\/a> and 300 Front Street West<\/a>. Tickets can range from $20 a seat in the nosebleeds to significantly more at the luxurious, reservations-only TD Clubhouse behind home plate: complete with buffet, padded seats, and concierge service.<\/p>\n

Toronto’s ballpark food can be much more interesting than the usual hot dogs and fries\u2014although the traditional eats are all there. There’s lots of local beer and cider<\/a> available, and you can bring your own snacks as long as they’re wrapped well.<\/p>\n

Opening day is April 8th<\/sup>, and games stretch into October.<\/p>\n

Basketball: The Toronto Raptors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 2019 the Raptors<\/a> took the NBA championship, and nobody in Toronto will ever let you forget it. It’s a great reason to check out Canada’s only NBA team: the vibe is fun, competitive, and fierce.<\/p>\n

The Raptors play out of Scotiabank Arena<\/a>, just around the corner from 10 York<\/a> and a short walk from Qwest<\/a>, Element<\/a>, Icon<\/a>, and 300 Front Street West<\/a>. It’s also connected to Toronto’s underground PATH Network<\/a>, so it’s easy to get to the arena and stay dry on a rainy day.<\/p>\n

Raptors tickets are in demand, and even modest seats will put you back about $90 after fees, but you’re getting an experience, not just a game. There’s a huge variety of concessions at Scotiabank Arena: sandwiches, hot dogs, poutine, and drinks feature. But you can also get sushi, premium rum and vodka, and high-end restaurant dining while you watch the shot clock.<\/p>\n

The regular season goes into April, and tickets are still available.<\/p>\n

Hockey: The Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Marlies, and the Toronto Six<\/strong><\/h3>\n

NHL tickets are a splurge for most people, but a night at the Scotiabank Arena watching the Leafs<\/a> is well worth the price. And with the regular season running into April, there’s still time to catch pro league hockey.<\/p>\n

But for hockey fans who need something a little more affordable\u2014or like a different challenge\u2014there’s the AHL Toronto Marlies<\/a>. The Leafs’ AHL development team plays out of Exhibition Place’s Coca-Cola Coliseum<\/a>, a 10-minute trip by car or transit from our Qwest<\/a> and 10 York<\/a> locations.<\/p>\n

A night out at the Marlies is its own kind of excitement. Not all the passes connect, and not all the shots get blocked\u2014which makes the game a different kind of exciting. The season also stretches from October to April, and you can snag tickets for as little as $25.<\/p>\n

If you’re into women’s professional hockey, Toronto’s best-kept hockey secret is its Premier Hockey Federation Team. The two-year-old Toronto Six<\/a> plays in at York Canlan Sports Arena<\/a>, in the city’s northwest. Tickets top out at $30 a seat, and with a strong roster, it’s a guaranteed good time.<\/p>\n

Soccer: Toronto FC<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Toronto isn’t always known as a soccer city, but the fan base for Toronto FC<\/a>\u2014the city’s Major League Soccer team\u2014are absolute diehards. Toronto FC’s the first\u2014and only\u2014Canadian MLS team, and won the MLS Cup in 2017.<\/p>\n

Toronto FC home games are at BMO Field<\/a>\u2014in the same Exhibition Place complex as the Marlies. It’s a newer venue with a full accessibility policy and barrier-free seating available. Snacks and concessions<\/a> cater to Toronto’s soccer-loving Italian and Portuguese communities, with panini and hot chicken next to more usual favourites.<\/p>\n

Toronto FC plays February through October, making them a great outdoor choice for long summer nights. Tickets range from an easy $28 to premium seats at over $150 each.<\/p>\n

Racing: The Honda Indy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you’re into an entirely different kind of sports\u2014motor sports\u2014Toronto’s also home to a major IndyCar race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taking place over the weekend of July 15-17, the almost 40-year-old race is IndyCar’s second-longest street circuit. The track loops around the Exhibition Place complex<\/a>, and is accessible (ironically!) by TTC and GO Transit.<\/p>\n

Ticket prices and catering options are yet to be announced, but should be available by May.<\/p>\n
