Toronto is coordinating with Live Nation Canada, Toronto police, TTC and Metrolinx to improve traffic flow, crowd movement and reduce noise at Rogers Stadium ahead of Oasis concerts. The stadium sits in a residential area far from transit hubs and has faced criticism for poor crowd management, long exit times and excessive noise, with attendees and nearby residents reporting delays of up to two hours and feeling trapped in their neighbourhoods. Officials have created a dedicated Uber lane, reduced illegal parking and restricted traffic entering local streets. A full debrief follows each show to assess operations and identify improvements.
With Oasis set to come to Toronto's new Rogers Stadium for two sold-out shows this weekend, the city says it's working with Live Nation Canada to improve traffic and reduce noise after shows earlier this summer drew complaints from fans and locals alike. The stadium, located in a residential area far from transit hubs, has been criticized for poor crowd management, long exit times from concerts and excessive noise.
James Pasternak, councillor for York Centre, said the city is taking those concerns seriously. 'There was a lot of catching up to do after the first concerts,' he said. 'We're working very hard to make sure that everyone can enjoy this, that it doesn't disrupt the lives of local residents, but concertgoers can enjoy the music and the events that take place there.'
