Ice hunks punch hole in Rogers Centre roof, game cancelled

Falling ice chunks off the CN Tower have punched a hole in the roof of the Rogers Centre and caused the cancellation of tonight’s game against the Royals. The CN Tower is also closed. The ice chuinks, which are occasional hazards at the tower, started to come doen about mid-morning. In this case they are said to come off the upper pod and antenna mast at the very top of the tower. Living memorory does not recall the cancelation of a game before for this reason. But the hole is big enough to permit water leakage onto the field, sources said.
