What was once one of Canada's premier sports and entertainment venues, is no more. The former home of the Toronto Argonauts and Toronto Blue Jays has been reduced to a pile of rubble.
About 100 people were on hand at Exhibition Stadium Sunday morning when it imploded. It was the final phase of the demolition of the stadium at the Canadian National Exhibition grounds.
Dozens of explosive charges were strategically placed around the concrete stadium, seating and grandstand.
The stadium seats were sold months ago. Just the concrete and the metal girders were left.
