Midway games at the CNE. I like the sound of this wheel. It's late at night and the season is almost over. Soon it will be a wrap for The Ex. • The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), or The Ex as it is commonly referred to, is an annual summer fair and carnival midway in the city of Toronto. • The EX takes place at the city's fairgrounds which is known as Exhibition Place, located in the Southwest corner of downtown on the shoreline of Lake Ontario, during the last two weeks of August and concludes on Labor Day with the Toronto International Airshow. • The EX hosts a carnival midway, demonstrations, concerts, and various entertainment-based activities during it's duration. • Exhibition Place is 165 square acres and is home to dozens of buildings which host many hundreds of regional and international vendors during the CNE. The property and it's various buildings host indoor events all year long. • The grounds have been home to a stock car race track, as well as two stadiums and one pro hockey arena which have been home to 4 of the city's pro sports teams. • Exhibition Place is the home location of Toronto FC [MLS] and Toronto Argonauts [CFL], these two teams play at BMO Field as primary and secondary tenants. The Coliseum across the street is occupied by The Toronto Marlies, the AAA team of the Toronto Maple Leafs. • The Toronto Blue Jays [MLB] played at Exhibition Stadium from 1977 to 1989, until mid-way through the 1989 baseball season, when they moved into SkyDome downtown. Exhibition Stadium (1977-1999) was razed and replaced with a pro soccer stadium. Exhibition Stadium made use of a 1948 Grandstand which was home to a paved 1/3 mile oval stock car track for 25 years. Exhibition Stadium is often ranked as the worst Major League Baseball stadium of all-time. • BUILDINGS AND VENUES LOCATED AT EXHIBITION PLACE • ■ BMO FIELD [2007] • Pro Soccer stadium, home to Toronto FC (MLS). • ■ THE COLISEUM [1921] • AAA hockey arena, concert venue, convention building, [CNE] vendor market • ■ ENERCARE CENTRE [1997] • Year-round use for trade shows and presentations • ■ THE HORSE PALACE [1931] • Equestrian school, horse demos, city police mounted unit • ■ THE FOOD BUILDING [1922] • Super-sized food court, only open during CNE season • ■ THE BETTER LIVING CENTRE [1962] • Year-round exhibitions, demonstrations, conventions, [CNE] vendors, [CNE] casino • ■ THE LIBERTY GRAND [1926] • Beaux-Arts Baroque style, formerly the Ontario Government Building • ■ THE PRESS BUILDING [1904] • Beaux-Arts style, used by CNE administration staff • ■ THE MUSIC BUILDING [1907] • Beaux-Arts Baroque style, formerly the Railways Building, built for CP Rail and Grand Trunk Railway • ■ MEDIEVAL TIMES [1911] • Beaux-Arts Baroque style, formerly the Toronto Government Building until 1993 • ■ THE HORTICULTURE BUILDING [1907] • Beaux-Arts Baroque style • ■ THE QUEEN ELIZABETH BUILDING [1957] • Administrative offices, [CNE] vendors, seasonal exhibits or attractions (Screamers for 30 days at Halloween) • ■ THE QUEEN ELIZABETH THEATRE [1956] • Concert venue, musical acts and lecture type speakers, IE: Patti Smith, George Noory, Alex Jones. • ■ THE AUTOMOTIVE BUILDING [1929] • Art Deco event building, year-round exhibits and presentations, [CNE] vendors • ■ THE STANLEY BARRACKS [1840] • Built to replace Fort York at Garrison Creek, it was a defensive British and Canadian military base on the shoreline • ■ HOTEL X [2018] • A modern hotel • ■ THE SHRINER'S PAVILION [????] • Masonic lodge connected to The Bandshell, adjacent companion monument is from 1930, American troops landed here during the 1812 Battle of York • ■ THE BANDSHELL [1936] • Outdoor concert venue in a park of the same name, designed after the Hollywood Bowl • ■ SCADDING CABIN [1794] • The oldest building in the city • ■ FIRE HALL POLICE STATION [1912] • ■ THE PRINCE'S GATES [1927] • A grand arch monument and entrance way at the East end of the grounds • ■ DUFFERIN GATES [1959] • St Louis style arch at Dufferin Street, one of 11 access points to the site • ■ EXHIBITION GO | TTC STREETCAR EXHIBITION LOOP • Regional train station + TTC streetcar loop • ■ THE TORONTO INDY [1986] • Street race established in 1986, route modified after Exhibition Stadium was demolished • NOTABLE LANDMARKS NO LONGER AT EXHIBITION PLACE • ■ CNE Grandstand (1948-1999), Exhibition Stadium (1977-1999) • ■ The Shell Tower, observation tower removed in 1986 • ■ Canadian National #6213 4-8-4 Northern, relocated to The Toronto Railway Museum • ■ The Flyer (1953 wooden rollercoaster) demolished with Exhibition Stadium in 1999.
