# Rogers Stadium – Outdoor concert venue in Toronto, Canada

Rogers Stadium, located at 105 Carl Hall Road, North York, Toronto, is an emerging outdoor concert venue that has quickly become a notable spot for music lovers. Known for hosting major concerts, including performances by popular artists like BLACKPINK and Stray Kids, the venue offers a unique experience with its expansive space and outdoor setting. Despite its recent establishment, Rogers Stadium has garnered attention for both its strengths and weaknesses, particularly in terms of accessibility and amenities. The community has shown a mix of enthusiasm and critique, reflecting the venue's evolving nature and its potential for improvement.

I attended the StrayKids and Blackpink (Day 2) concerts. The concerts (themselves) were great. Everyone seemed to be having a fun time. Staff was pretty helpful. There were some improvements between StrayKids and Blackpink concerts. I feel like the stadium still need a lot more improvements. Pros (based on the some improvements): - Food and water seemed to a bit more accessible - Line up for merch was better - Slightly more seats before entering the stadium - Was able to hear the artists really well - Water was being handed out while you're waiting in line Cons/More improvements: - Hard to see horizontal videos on vertical screens (Ironically, I have prescription glasses) - Lack of shade, especially in the seated areas in the sun and line up to the gates - Accessibility could be improved a little more - Exiting could be more improved on - Bleachers seating was still a little too janky

I've been to both the Stray Kids and BLACKPINK concerts here, and honestly... the venue itself is my least favorite part. First of all, it's so far. You have to walk forever just to get to the entrance -- I don't understand why Live Nation built a concert venue this far out. If it ever rains, I can't even imagine the chaos. The food was bad, I suggest to eat before coming here. The most frustrating thing was the backpack rule. When I went to the Stray Kids concert, backpacks were totally fine. Then just a month later at BLACKPINK, suddenly they weren't allowed anymore. No clear notice, no explanation -- just "you can't bring that in." They told everyone to use the lockers, which cost around $25! The line for lockers was ridiculously long, and so was the line for merch. The staff were honestly terrible -- they just repeated the same lines like robots, no actual help or flexibility. Most of them seemed completely overwhelmed. I really don't get how a policy can change so drastically in such a short time without warning people ahead of time. The concert itself was great (of course -- it's BLACKPINK and Stray Kids!), but the overall experience here? Not so much. I'm not sure I'd come back for another show at this venue unless things seriously improve.

The new outdoor concert venue in Toronto that is a rain or shine venue. I attended the Black Pink concert here in the summer and there were definitely some pros and cons. Pros: - Nice to have a first time outdoor concert venue - The bleacher like seating was surprisingly pretty secure - Water stations all around the venue - Nice and big, so never felt crammed - Sound systems were pretty good Cons: - It's really far at downsview area, where there isn't a lot of transportation to get to the venue - It's a far walk from the station/ drop off points to enter into the venue. It's at least a 15-25 minute walk minimum - Getting in and out of the venue with a vehicle is a nightmare! - No real toilets. All porta potties/ nicer porta potties Overall, still happy about this venue, however it's not accessible at all in my opinion.

Hrrmmm. I'm waffling between 2 and 3 stars and ultimately landing on 2 because tho Roger's Stadium was the location of one the 2 best nights of my life but since that wholly had to do with the band, not the venue, I'll stick to an objective review of the place: this was one of the worst and weirdest venues I've ever been to in over 30 years of concert going in multiple countries. We came for the two nights of Oasis. I knew things would be a bit dodgy given the stadium wasn't even standing when we bought our tickets 9 months out from the show but even leading up to the week of the show I didn't know what to expect. All I had heard is that it's in the middle of nowhere, getting in and out is a nightmare, and to wear comfortable shoes. ALL TRUE! I hesitate to use the word "stadium." It's more like a series of bleachers with a stage on one end (Liam Gallagher called it "legoland" and he wasn't wrong!). Word on the street is they're going to be using this space for up to 4 years and I'll be surprised if the current infrastructure lasts even 2. It's also located in the middle of a former airfield. So walking from the train or any of the main roads is basically a mile/1.6km walk down what is literally a landing strip. There is nothing around, just concrete and fields! Since there isn't much around they built their own "fan plaza" which opens an hour/2 hours before gates to the actual stadium open. And I'll admit this was kind of fun since it lent a bit of a festive air to the already buzzing Oasis reunion vibes. Oasis took full advantage of the plaza, setting up multiple merch stores, painting the ground with logos and "Live 25" and also had multiple photo ops throughout. The venue itself also has a lot of food options and a small Ferris wheel. Now, the food options aren't particularly GOOD but they're there! Because we got there when fan plaza opened we were able to get bracelets to be in the front section of the GA floor the first night. They don't let you take any bottles or anything in, instead they give you plastic cups to pour your water/other drinks into. So things were a little chaotic as folks were grabbing cups and pouring beer and whatnot. We didn't have drinks to take in so it wasn't bad for us but it was kind of annoying. I get they don't want people throwing bottles on stage but man, all those single use cups on top of the cans and bottles? So wasteful! Anyway, the show was incredible. Our spot was aces. It started pouring rain half way through and I will say this is one time the concrete was actually ok because it didn't get muddy! Fireworks were shot off without a hitch and the crowd was good vibes and full of joy the whole time. Night two we came to the venue later so we weren't in the pit and stood a little further back but that vantage point was still pretty good. Exiting both nights was the biggest pain I think. Night one was worse since we were in the front, meaning last out. It's just a giant crush of people all making their way to one exit: the train station. They had staff essentially playing red rover with us letting groups through in chunks to keep the stations from getting too overwhelmed. I will say the trains did as best as they could given the volume and rides out are free which kept the line moving pretty good. There was no real easy way to get to our hotel from here so in the end we took a train to a station a little further out and grabbed a Lyft there the rest of the way. Oh, also the bathroom situation? Not great! Port-o-potties galore. And my husband reported that they did have a "men's room" which were essentially a line of open air urinals, like a trough. Cool cool! As we were exiting all the fencing was lined with dudes just free peeing so, that was fun. Ugh. So yeah, not my favorite. Props to the staff though who made a pretty crappy venue run as smoothly as it could be. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. It's just the place is SO WEIRD!! The shows themselves were incredible but that was in spite of where they were held, not because of it.

Good stadium for concerts in the summer. Went here for Black pink concert. Have not tried the food but it's going to be on the pricier side. We got to experience beyond the seats view which they provided us popcorn and great service. Venue is big. Problem I understand people complaining about is, at the end there's only one exit to leave the grounds and that's where there's human traffic. For the seats, when people jump and down to dance you can feel the floor shake. Otherwise its a smooth process going in the Stadium

Performance: Chris Brown 5/5 Chris Brown and his dancers performed the full set in the heavy rain with no delay and most of the fans, I would say about 90% stayed till the end despite the heavy rain and getting drenched. The performance was amazing. The venue is bad. Venue 2/5 This is literally a pain to get to both by public transport and driving. The nearby parking lots and plazas charge around $30-$40 to park because they know that there's an event happening nearby. Getting to the actual venue was a little walk on a lot of gravel and some unpaved roads. It rained hard when we went so that made the whole situation even worse as the drainage was very poor. The venue itself had no shelter from rain so bring a poncho or a small umbrella if you're attending concerts at this outdoor venue. The stairways and hallways into the grandstands are quite slippery so do be mindful and the black fabric that you see on the hallways and behind the bleachers is just cloth and not a solid barrier. Service 3/5 Overall, the staff are very helpful and try the best to make your experience a little bit better. The security and the lineups were pretty short and went by pretty quickly. However, the merchandise lineups were way too long as they were the only sheltered areas actually outside the arena. Food 2/5 I understand the need to mark up to make money for arena and stadium prices but 9$ for a hotdog slightly bigger than the ones at IKEA I find is unreasonable. Not to mention 7$ beef patties. The prices for alcohol are on par with a nightclub and the water bottles are the same as what Roger centre charges. The portions are on the smaller end, but the food tasted good nonetheless. There are a water bottle a refill stations so if you do bring your own water bottle, make sure it's a plastic one that is transparent.

Personally felt I've had a good experience at this venue! I was here for Floor Coldplay. It was very well organized, there is signs through out the stadium. If you have amex go to gate 3, vip or rogers customers go to gate 2. I've seen videos online with long wait times but I didn't have to wait at all to enter for amex. Came around 6 and it was really busy! I would definitely suggest coming earlier if you wanted to buy merch, get food, cocktails, go to the ferris wheel or explore the grounds. There's a lot to do! For nicer restrooms, go to the ones by gate 3, the potty's flush and they have lots and a sink! there is multiple ways to enter floor and there is instructions how to enter your seats as well. Beware, it is a lot of walking to the venue and NO parking! The heat is no joke so make sure to get water, plenty of refillable water stations. Get a hat or fan!!

Visited from Houston for the Chris BreezyBowl 2025. The stadium was interesting to get to. The address provided via Ticketmaster app was not the correct location for ride share. Spent minutes in the Uber trying to locate it and we finally located it, it was a 10 minute walk. Wasn't too bad as the weather was pleasant. I appreciate the AMEX Lounge and AMEX entrance. It was a vibe and fun! I wish the stadium had more dessert options.

Horrible venue. This reminds me of High school stadium. The seating felt like it could collapse when we were jumping. Hard to get in and out if you're driving. I wouldn't attend another show here if it were free. But oasis did a great job in light what a dump this place is.

Hubby & I went here for the Blackpink concert on July 23. It wasn't as bad as I feared. I'd heard things from the Stray Kids concert. It seems they have taken the feedback from that first concert at the stadium & improved things. The closest subway station to the venue is Downsview station. It's about a 10 min walk. When we were leaving the stadium we went to gate 2 for Sheppard West Station & that is a longer walk of 15 mins. Luckily though, there is a gas station outside of the stadium on the way to Sheppard West. There were cabs waiting at the gas station so we took a cab home from there. Food at the kiosks there sucks! It's expensive (typical of concert venues). But everything is pre-made so you cannot customize it if you have allergies. Hubby & I got chicken tenders & french fries to try. They were dry as a bone & tasted like they were made that morning. There are food trucks there also, so that might have been a better option. But we didn't try the food trucks. I'm usually leery of food trucks because they're not always hygienic in their food preparations. Washrooms looked like port-a-potties but nicer. These ones flush with water & were clean. But they are awfully small. I'm a short person & there wasn't much space when sitting down from my knees to the door. They do have accessible bathrooms that are larger. I noticed mostly the families used those. I didn't see any people with disabilities using them. The lineups for those bathrooms were much shorter also. There are two main areas where the majority of bathrooms are located. One each on either side of the stage but outside of the stadium. There were also hand washing stations with soap, running water, & paper towels for drying hands. There is more than one place to buy merchandise but the lineups were extremely long at the Blackpink concert. So hubby actually went to the merch store a little after the concert started. That's when the line-ups were short. We made a mistake when we picked our seats for the concert. We were able to get seats closer to the stage but to the left. Turns out, the stage is kind of shaped like rounded triangle. It would've been better if we'd gotten seats in the middle even if we were a little further away. We would've had a better view of the stage. Since we were to the left we didn't see much of Blackpink as they were mostly in the middle of the stage or to the back. We only had a view of them through the screens on either side of the stage. While Rogers Stadium is a large venue & it was an okay concert experience, I prefer the permanent stadiums. The seats at Rogers Stadium were tiny fold out chairs. They were also squished together so there is no room between you & your neighbouring seat. The food at places like Scotiabank arena & Budweiser stage is also a lot better in terms of quality & selection. I would only come back to Rogers Stadium if my favourite bands are playing there. Otherwise I wouldn't go. It's in the middle of no where. Not much else is around. Also not all of the pathway to the stadium is paved. Most of it is gravel which was hard on my feet. My running shoes were caked in dust when I got home from the concert. I wouldn't advise wearing heels if you're going to this venue.
