Jordy's Journal: Uncertainty quiets annual Blue Jays-Mariners weekend in Seattle

  • The Toronto Blue Jays played the Seattle Mariners in Seattle during the MLB weekend of May 9-11, 2025.
  • The series experienced challenges due to U.S. Tariff uncertainties and fluctuations in the dollar, resulting in a noticeable decline in the number of Canadian fans traveling to the games.
  • Hotel employees reported many cancellations before the weekend, restaurants offered discounts up to 30 percent, and visibly fewer Blue Jays jerseys appeared at the games.
  • Average attendance was 31,564, about 7 percent lower than 2022, though 500 more than typical Seattle games this season, with fans chanting "Let's Go Blue Jays" despite some 51st state retorts.
  • The event highlighted ongoing political tension impacting cross-border travel and fan turnout, while many Canadians still attended and Americans welcomed their presence.
