Toronto – Operators of Toronto’s new Rogers Stadium say they are “already adjustment” after concerns about mob management at the opening show of Outdoor Venue on Sunday.
Live Nation Canada says it is “working closely” with fan and community reaction and city officials, transit operators and emergency services.
Some fans participating in a concert by C-Pop Group Strey Kids on Sunday evening said it took up to two hours to get out of the stadium, as the site and transit services from the Downsview Park seemed ill to handle the throng of the people coming out of the show.
Live Nation Canada also says that the fans felt that their seats run in the upper Grandstand during the concert, but say “is expected as part of the design of the venue,” which exceeds the “International Security Code”.
James Pasternak, a city councilor, whose ward includes the area where the stadium is located, was prepared to meet with Live Nation Canada and Zamindar Northcrest Development this morning to discuss possible solutions.
The Rogers Stadium is set to host the British Rock Band Coldplay next week for four demonstrations from July 7 to 12.
