Fans could be barred from Game 6 if Halloween costume is not 'family friendly': Blue Jays
Folks lucky enough to have a ticket to tonight’s World Series game at the Rogers Centre in Toronto are welcome to wear a Halloween costume.
However, the Blue Jays reserve the right to deny admission or remove anyone wearing garments that are considered inappropriate or could detract from other fans enjoying the game.
Your costume must be fun for the whole family. The Jays aren’t specific about this prohibition, but say on their MLB site that “c ostumes, clothing and accessories must be family-friendly.”
The Jays are clear that any costume, whether or not it’s Halloween, “ may not be obstructive” to the views of other fans.
Your costume can’t be “disparaging” either – as much as you may wish to boo the LA Dodgers.
Mascot costumes and apparel are not permitted.
Also no commerce or politics. The Jays say that “costumes, clothing and accessories may not contain messages, graphics or other content that may be distracting, commercial, political, or intended to draw attention to international, political or other similar events, causes or conflicts.”
And, most of all, nothing offensive. Cultural appropriation is cited widely as falling into the offensive category. For example, Parents.com refers to tribal markings, headdresses, and turbans.
The Rogers Centre prohibits items that could be considered dangerous, such as weapons, even replicas or toy versions.
Fans are, of course, encouraged to wear team gear.
Amanda Ferguson saw a social media notice for a Blue Jays giveaway for two tickets to tonight’s game. They would go to the first 150 fans who arrived at a location to be announced at 8 a.m. Friday morning. She took a GO train downtown, then a chance the giveaway would occur at the Rogers Centre and “made a run for it.” Sure enough, the tickets were available at Gate 11.
To claim the tickets fans had to dress up as one the players, coaches or the team mascot. She chose Davis Schneider, drawing a moustache akin to his on her upper lip.
Tickets in hand, she and her husband then had to find last minute childcare for their young daughter.
After trying many folks who turned out to be fans too or planned to take their kids out trick or treating tonight, Amanda’s mother volunteered and has taken a four-hour train ride to support her daughter and son-in-law as they head off to the big game.
The couple is “really, really pumped,” Amanda says.
The Jays’ X account has provided a game day checklist for fans ahead of tonight’s game, saying that attendees should plan their route to the ballpark, arrive early and have their mobile tickets open at the gates.

The Jays are a game away from writing a new chapter in baseball history. A Game 6 victory will mean winning the World Series and taking home the Commissioner’s Trophy.
If they don’t win tonight, fans will put away their Halloween costumes and return for the seventh and final game, hoping the hometown team prevails.
