The Toronto Blue Jays set a new record for hot dog consumption during their recent Loonie Dog Night, despite losing the game to the Minnesota Twins. On Tuesday, fans consumed a staggering 96,633 hot dogs at the Rogers Centre, surpassing the previous record of 84,731 hot dogs set in July.

The event attracted a sellout crowd of 42,235, which means that, on average, each fan ate about 2.28 hot dogs. If all the hot dogs were lined up end to end, they would stretch over 12 kilometers, roughly the distance between Union and York Mills TTC stations.

While fans celebrated their record-breaking appetite, the Blue Jays struggled on the field, losing the game 7-5. Loonie Dog Night occurs every Tuesday during home games, where hot dogs are sold for just one dollar. The team tracks the number of hot dogs sold and updates fans on the jumbotron throughout the game.

This year, the Blue Jays have already sold a total of 727,819 Loonie Dogs, marking the highest sales since the promotion began in 2019. Fans will have two more opportunities to break the record this season, with Loonie Dog Nights scheduled for September 9 against the Houston Astros and September 23 against the Boston Red Sox.

As the Blue Jays (77-56) prepare to conclude their three-game series against the Twins, the excitement around Loonie Dog Night continues to grow.
