Blue Jays (and Their Fan Cutouts) Play Their Last Game in Florida

The team’s cutout program also offered an opportunity for fans like Dave Capstick, born in Etobicoke, Ontario, and currently living in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, to have a physical presence at the ballpark that he wouldn’t have been able to in the past.

Capstick used the program as a way to put his 10-year-old daughter, Nya, in the stands. “It’s nice to see ourselves at the game,” he said.

The Jays even crowdsourced fan suggestions for a celebrity row. Imagine the front row at a Lakers game, but Canadian — and made of corrugated plastic.

The celebrity section, in the 100-level in Dunedin, includes Ash and the actors Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Oh; Paul Sun-Hyung Lee and Jean Yoon of the CBC network show “Kim’s Convenience”; and the cast of the Canadian sitcom “Schitt’s Creek,” including Dan Levy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Sarah Levy, Annie Murphy, Emily Hampshire and Noah Reid.
