When Michael Snow's, "The Audience," sculpture was first unveiled, the public didn't really, ah, embrace it. In fact, one Toronto Blue Jay Fan characterized it as a "giant booger." But over the years, fans have grown to love(?) this whimsical and endearing part of Rogers Centre.
Each character has a definite personality! A heckler, an eater, a picture snapper, a noise maker, and others. Which one do you see when you look in the mirror?
