"If you crossed "see the Dodgers in the World Series" off your bucket list last year, here's a bucket list update for you: See the Dodgers in the World Series, from the comfort of a hotel room with a full view of the field. Not at Dodger Stadium, of course. In Toronto, however, where a hotel is built into the ballpark and 55 rooms allow you to open the curtains and catch the game without a ticket."
"During the World Series, the nightly rate for these rooms starts at $3,999 (in Canadian dollars, or about $2,850 in U.S. dollars). That is a lot of money. Then again, the rooms sleep up to five people, and good luck getting five World Series game tickets for that price. You have to get to Toronto, and that costs a lot of money too."
"But you don't need to pay separately for game tickets and a hotel, and you can get room service instead of standing in line at concession stands. The rooms include chairs that face the field, so you don't have to stand on your bed to catch the action. And you never know: a player could toss you a ball during batting practice, right through your window."
Toronto offers a hotel built into a baseball ballpark with 55 rooms that open directly onto the field, allowing guests to watch World Series games from their windows. Nightly rates during the World Series start at CA$3,999 (about US$2,850). Rooms accommodate up to five people, eliminating the need to buy separate game tickets for each guest. Guests can enjoy room service instead of standing in concession lines, and rooms include chairs positioned to face the field. Travelers still must reach Toronto, which adds cost, and guests might even catch a ball tossed through their window during batting practice.
