Chunks of ice fall from CN Tower in Toronto lead to baseball game cancellation
Chunks of ice crashing down from the CN Tower following a weekend of freezing rain forced the closure of the Toronto landmark and damaged the roof of a nearby baseball stadium, prompting the Toronto Blue Jays to cancel Monday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals.
Police had blocked off the area directly under the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre due to the “relatively large” blocks of ice tumbling down onto the streets and sidewalks below.
“Fortunately there’s been no injuries reported,” said Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook.
The Blue Jays said crews were working to repair a hole in the roof of the Rogers Centre and fans would be treated to a “traditional doubleheader” Tuesday afternoon.
