Briefly

Chris Martin clarified his earlier remarks about Rogers Stadium, stating he did not intend to insult the venue despite calling it a 'weird stadium in the middle of nowhere.' He expressed gratitude towards concertgoers for coping with the travel challenges associated with reaching the concert location. Martin acknowledged past complaints about crowd control at the stadium and emphasized his appreciation for the establishment. He reiterated that he never criticized the stadium, highlighting its beautiful construction and his thankfulness for having a place to perform.
When he first took the stage on Monday, he thanked fans for putting up with 'the traffic and the travel and the trains and the waiting' to get to the venue.
At Friday's show, Martin said he only meant to thank people for putting up with the hassle of getting to the venue, not to insult the people who built the stadium.
I have never criticized this stadium that was beautifully, kindly built for us to play in. I don't think to say anything mean at all.
I'm so grateful to have somewhere where we can hang out with all of you.
