afternoon fog in toronto is a rare occurrence, but the fog bowl was just one of several weather disasters to occur at exhibition stadium. the stadium's proximity to lake ontario made it susceptible to rapid weather changes and extreme conditions. it remains the site of the only major league baseball game to be played with snow on the field (the toronto blue jays' inaugural game on april 7, 1977), and the only major league baseball game to be suspended due to high wind. the 1982 grey cup (the rain bowl) was played in a driving rain. the limitations of exhibition stadium eventually led to the construction of skydome, now known as rogers centre. during its life as a professional sports stadium, local press and torontonians often referred to exhibition stadium under the moniker "mistake by the lake."
