"As the Toronto Blue Jays head to New York City for Game 3 of the American League Division Series, some diehard Canadian fans will be cheering for the team from the Yankee Stadium stands. The Blue Jays currently lead the series 2-0 after two high-scoring games at Rogers Centre against the Yankees over the weekend. Toronto will look to sweep the ALDS on Tuesday, with Game 4 in New York if necessary before the series returns to Rogers Centre for Game 5 if needed."
"Tim Macdonell, CEO of Elite Sports Tours in Toronto, said that although Canadian travel to the U.S. has generally tapered down due to the political climate, his company has still been receiving inquiries from fans looking to go to the Bronx for the ALDS. "I think you have to be a little bit passionate if you want to travel to see a team on the road. You're definitely not a casual fan," said Macdonell. "You probably eat, sleep, and breathe Blue Jays baseball.""
Toronto leads the American League Division Series 2-0 after two high-scoring games at Rogers Centre and will play Game 3 in New York with potential Games 4 and 5 scheduled if needed. Some Canadian fans plan to attend games at Yankee Stadium despite generally reduced cross-border travel linked to the political climate. Elite Sports Tours reports continued inquiries and describes travelling fans as highly passionate. The New York Yankees restrict ticket sales to buyers with billing addresses in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania. The Blue Jays limit purchases to Canadian billing addresses; third-party resale remains an option.
