TORONTO BLUE JAYS PEANUT/NUT-REDUCED ZONE

The Toronto Blue Jays are offering a peanut/nut-reduced seating area at certain games for their 2014 season, as allergies are becoming increasingly prevalent. There is no cure, so avoidance of the allergenic food is the only way to steer clear of an allergic reaction. Taking your children out to a crowded public space can be frightening and dangerous for those who risk severe reactions. Fortunately, the Toronto Blue Jays want to give all families the opportunity to visit a Jays Game and stay safe this summer.

On six different game dates a limited number of seats are available in this designated area at the Rogers Centre, located in Section 204 of the 200 Level Outfield seating area. This area is signed off as the “Peanut/Nut-Reduced Zone”.

Peanuts and nuts will not be allowed in this reserved section for the following game dates:

• Sunday, April 27, 2014 vs. Boston 
• Sunday, May 25, 2014 vs. Oakland 
• Sunday, June 29, 2014 vs. Chicago White Sox
•  Sunday, July 20, 2014 vs. Texas 
• Sunday, August 24, 2014 vs. Tampa Bay 
• Sunday, September 14, 2014 vs. Tampa Bay
