Many Coldplay fans are leaving positive reviews about Rogers Stadium following adjustments made by Live Nation and a show that lit up Toronto.
The adjustments were made after fans raised several concerns that included two-hour waits, but feelings and attitudes have changed for Coldplay attendees, who took to social media to say they noticed the difference.

“I have to say that it seems like a lot of the previous issues were fixed,” a Reddit user said.
“There was lots of water, no waits at the portapotties, lots of helpful staff to direct you where you needed to go and answer questions. There was more than enough food.” the user went on to say.
Some social users even noticed the dramatic change in leaving the stadium, with many saying it took less than an hour.

“Leaving was organized and seamless, I waited only 30 minutes from the show end to get on a subway train… not bad for a crowd of 50,000! GO train is even less of a wait,” another user said.
“Exit was very smooth and even at that time there was no wait for the washroom. We exited via Sheppard west exit and were on the road in about 15-20 minutes,” another user said.
However, some concert-goers pointed out lingering issues with the venue, such as sound quality.
“Audio quality at east stand was awful,” one Reddit user said.
“ I could hear feedback creeping up repeatedly. Luckily they nipped it before it really got going but it was enough that I noticed it three times,” another user said.
While the show left fans with a lot less questions about the Stadium’s operations compared to its inaugural show, Coldplay’s lead front man, Chris Martin, did jokingly call out the stadium’s location, which is at the former Downsview Airport lands in North York.
“Thank you so much for coming through all the bulls**t you had to come through for this weird stadium in the middle of nowhere,” he said.
The band played to a crowd of more than 50,000 people, and showcased fan favorite songs including “Yellow”, “Fix You”, “The Scientist”, “Sky Full of Stars”, and “Viva La Vida”.
Coldplay will return to the venue on Tuesday, and wrap up their run on Thursday and Friday. The Stadium will then welcome Blackpink to the stage for two shows on July 22 and 23.
