One aspect of Toronto’s Rogers Centre is easy to overlook, despite this landmark drawing millions of visitors for concerts, sporting events and conventions every year.
“The Audience” is a striking installation on our 556,000 square foot building’s exterior; 15 bronze-like characters perched above Gates 2 and 13 of the stadium.
Which One Are You?
Each figure represents various subsects of fans attending sporting events. Among these characters: A father-son duo, the heckler, the photographer, the muscle man…just a few animated onlookers captured in this artwork.
Led by Canadian artist Michael Snow, inspiration was drawn from Roman, Gothic, and Hindu styles to create a vivid blend of authentic fan reactions.
Each statue spans over 6 meters in height, composed of a steel skeleton with foam and fiberglass coating.
I Spy…
