TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have postponed their series opener against Kansas City because of chunks of ice crashing down from the nearby CN Tower following a weekend of freezing rain.
The teams will play a doubleheader on Tuesday.
It’s the first cancellation at Rogers Centre since a game against the Royals was called off following a collision between two panels of the stadium’s moving roof on April 12, 2001.
Police blocked access to entrance gates on the east side of the stadium, next to the tower, because “relatively large” blocks of ice were falling onto streets and sidewalks below.
