Calgary Stampede: What the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth says about the economy
July 5, 2025

Rogers Stadium is set to welcome tens of thousands of Coldplay fans tonight for the first of four shows by the British rock band, as organizers say they are “making adjustments” to improve crowd control at Toronto’s newest outdoor music venue. After the venue’s inaugural concert last Sunday, some attendees said it took up to two hours to exit the stadium as the site and transit services seemed ill-equipped to handle the large crowds.
