Fans attending the first concert at Toronto's new Rogers Stadium are voicing concerns over inadequate crowd control, with reports of two-hour exit delays. Attendees, like Shannon Spencer, described chaotic conditions as staff managed exits in batches, creating bottle-necks toward nearby public transit. Limited parking forced most to use transit, leading to overcrowded stations. Many took hours to leave the venue, with some like Autumn Halvorsen walking significant distances to find rides. City Councillor James Pasternak acknowledged the surge of crowds and the necessity for improved management strategies as summer events continue to draw large audiences.
Shannon Spencer described the chaotic exit from the concert as a standstill where staff's strategy of letting people out 'in batches' caused significant delays.
Autumn Halvorsen remarked on the challenging exit from the venue, noting she walked 20 minutes to find an Uber, which was canceled due to poor accessibility.
