The lead singer made previous comments about the new venue’s location, calling it a “weird stadium in the middle of nowhere,” on Monday.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin says he didn't mean to insult Toronto's newest concert venue when he called it a "weird stadium in the middle of nowhere."

A look into the main event, plus concert’s merch, getting in and out of the venue, food options and upcoming ticket prices to this weekend’s shows.

There were even longer lines to get to Downsview Park, the stadium’s nearest subway and GO station. Near is a relative term, of course—some Redditors claimed that, in the exiting crowd, it took up to an hour to walk the single kilometre from the gates to the station.

Coldplay fans are gearing up to watch the band perform this week in Toronto, but some say they are concerned after mixed reviews about the concert's venue, Rogers Stadium.

Coldplay's Toronto night 2 concert is reviewed, including Chris Martin's comments about Rogers Stadium and his acknowledging of a fan's Israeli flag.

Coldplay fans appeared to experience a smoother exit from Toronto's Rogers Stadium on Monday night, after complaints of poor crowd control following the outdoor venue's inaugural show last week. But some concertgoers were still left feeling lucky to get out without any major incident.
