Didn't get a picture but they are putting up the Rogers Stadium sign on the front.

It's about to open, and they're still posting silly-looking computer-generated images instead of actual photos?

If there's a Ferris wheel, I'm expecting a roller coaster to show up someday to give Canada's Wonderland much-needed competition.

It does not need to be a large roller coaster.

An Intamin Impulse (similar to the removed Wicked Twister at Cedar Point for example) would work wonders and Rogers could say "We have a roller coaster Canada's Wonderland doesn't have! An Intamin roller coaster!" Such roller coasters take up very little space, are inexpensive, and provide much thrills.

Apparently members of the media were invited on a tour of the venue earlier today, so I assume a bunch of them have or will have stories with actual photos and/or video (as opposed to the silly-looking computer-generated images).

To encourage transit use for attendees, Live Nation is providing free transit to those leaving the Rogers Stadium after each concert.

TTC and GO Transit rides from Rogers Stadium will be free for concertgoers all summer, Olivia Chow and Doug Ford announce

Live Nation Canada will cover both the TTC and GO Transit costs, the Star confirmed.

Toronto’s new large-scale concert venue is set to open this Sunday, as Rogers Stadium prepares to welcome up to 50,000 fans to Downsview Park! https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2025/0...-torontos-largest-outdoor-concert-venue.58877

As the first concert is tonight I am wondering how traffic in/out will be?

Stadium looks cool from the first concert. Downsview Park station will finally get some love!

https://archive.ph/3XgmZ (Toronto Star - "Rogers Stadium: We attended the first concert at Toronto’s temporary, 50,000-seat venue. Here’s how it went")

... Lines were long and often confusingly arranged, and getting to the venue was a challenge for some.
The 632-space parking lot at the nearby Sheppard West subway station filled up by 4:30 p.m., a full three hours before the performance was due to begin, and the stadium’s ride-share and pick-up spot — which itself was a 12-minute walk to the nearest gate — likewise, was flooded with cars, spilling some traffic onto nearby Wilson Avenue...
“Honestly, for the first time, it’s pretty OK,” ... “The first time, there’s going to be problems. It’s not — pardon my French — a s—-show as I thought it would be.”

What I haven't seen yet is anything about the situation with everyone leaving at the same time, which I'd think could potentially have been more of a problem. I suppose if we haven't heard anything, it probably wasn't so bad.
Edit: It sounds like everyone leaving at once after it ended resulted in a predictably huge crowd at Downsview Park station, with people being held outside until trains departed to allow more into the GO train and TTC stations.
