While the Blue Jays have struggled to find their footing on the field this season, they just set a franchise record — in the concession stands. According to statistics provided by the team, during Tuesday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox, fans at Rogers Centre devoured enough Loonie Dogs to push the total over 700,000 for the season, marking a new ballpark record. Loonie Dogs Night, presented by Schneiders, has quickly become a staple for Blue Jays fans, drawing large crowds every Tuesday to enjoy $1 hot dogs.
What began in 2019 as a promotion for the first Tuesday home game of each month has since evolved into a popular weekly tradition. Last season, , but this season, they’ve easily surpassed that — even with a four-dog per-customer limit — with an average of over 56,500 Loonie Dogs consumed each Tuesday. The hunger peaked on August 29, when a whopping 76,627 hot dogs were sold during a game against Washington, setting an all-time single-game record.
Just a few weeks earlier, fans had gobbled up 71,391 glizzies during a matchup with Baltimore. In the meantime, as the 2024 campaign winds down, the Blue Jays are preparing to show their appreciation for their supporters with Fan Appreciation Weekend. Kicking off on Friday, September 27, fans can look forward to receiving a special Blue Jays FANnel Shirt, along with various activities and opportunities to win unique prizes, including autographed memorabilia.
