Over-reach?

  

At end of the Shawn Mendes tour flick, now on Netflix, a full-screen, stand alone credit appears.

With Special Thanks to Rogers Centre, Toronto

It's the only such arena credit on the 104-show  tour. I guess the rest of the venues realize that unless something happens in them, they are just empty buildings.

This is well beyond a courtesy credit.

A moment, please, to recap the history of Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome.

It cost $600 million of mostly taxpayer cash to build the arena, which opened in 1989.

One decade later, a company called Sportsco bought SkyDome for $85 million in 1998.

Rogers bought the Blue Jays, a founding tenant, in 2000. Four years later, Rogers/Jays bought the arena building itself for $25 million. 

They put their name on it.

Stuff happens there.

Unless stuff happens, the building is dark.

I'm curious the Rogers lawyers think they claim  some unique "artistic" or "appearance" credit in a film of Mendes' well-deserved success.

Especially for a structure they are plotting to knock down.
