Video from the concert captures him asking, “Any way to call this place the SkyDome again?”, drawing loud approval from the crowd. The venue opened as SkyDome in 1989 and was officially renamed Rogers Centre on February 2, 2005.
It’s been over 20 years since that rebrand, and many fans still refer to it as SkyDome.
