It's great to see so much more content and attention being given to this article, most likely thanks the situation with the Blue Jays. Some suggestions, though, are to watch the organization and the overall detail of content. Right now this is a huge list of what seems like every event to ever happen at the ballpark, which really isn't appropriate for an article like this. Articles about venues like this should highlight certain major events that have happened in the facility and summarize the key tenants and their general history at the building. Right now, everything is listed chronologically, making it difficult to follow. Concerts should likely be their own subheading (common for most stadium and arena articles), highlighting some of the most prominent acts and performers to play there, rather than an entire schedule (avoid making a detailed table for every concert, though, which has been placed in many stadium articles). For the Bisons' summer concerts, for instance, those should be summarized as a whole, like the general years it has run and some of the most prominent acts to play in them over time; same for the other regular concerts that have been held there. Listing every year's performers is excessive detail (see WP:FANCRUFT and WP:SCOPE). There should also be a separate naming rights section since this park has had so many names in its history, plus a section for "other events" like the Wing festival and other baseball-related events like All-Star games. Key thing to remember in articles like this is the focus of the article: the ballpark, not every event to ever happen at the ballpark. "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.

Images are all tagged appropriately.
I'll go through the article itself next, probably tomorrow. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 02:18, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
Second pass. I've struck the sources from the list of questioned sources above and will have another look at rotofanatic.com. Notes below to follow. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 21:52, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
Generally the prose is pretty clean; it's straightforwardly written. Most of the above is minor. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 22:30, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
Fixes look good -- passing. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 12:08, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by TheNewMinistry ( talk). Self-nominated at 17:40, 26 August 2022 (UTC).
TheNewMinistry, I realized after I promoted this that I should have been doing spotchecks, so I have done a few checks now. I came up with a couple of questions:
I checked FNs 52, 79, 102, 114, 123, 134, and 145 as well, so this is 5 out of 12 that aren't properly supported by the citations. That's quite a big proportion. Can you fix these and take a look through the other citations in the article, and let me know when you think it's ready for another spotcheck? I really should have done this before promoting the article, so I apologize for the late notice on this. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 14:25, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
I am nominating this for reassessment because a spotcheck of the sources find five which did not support the text, out of twelve checked. That's an alarmingly high rate. I think all the sources should be rechecked against the text of the article. Noting also that I was the GA reviewer and failed to do a spotcheck; when I realized that I returned after the promotion and spotchecked the article. The nominator has been inactive for a month; I will notify them and also the baseball WikiProject. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 00:24, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
