What to know<\/p>\n
Bruno Mars added a fifth Toronto date to his Romantic Tour but fans are upset that all five shows are scheduled at the outdoor Rogers Stadium in Downsview Park.<\/p>\n
Fans on social media have criticized the venue for poor crowd control, limited washrooms, expensive concessions, bad sightlines and weather-related issues from past concerts.<\/p>\n
Confusion between Rogers Stadium and Rogers Centre has also frustrated ticket buyers, with some fans realizing only after purchasing tickets that the shows are not at an indoor downtown venue.<\/p>\n
A fifth show on Bruno Mars\u2019 Romantic Tour stop in Toronto was added just last week, extending the singer\u2019s time in the city. But not all fans are happy.<\/p>\n
Rather than garnering more excitement, these particular shows are causing upset with fans.<\/p>\n
Users across social media have been echoing a similar sentiment: Rogers Stadium is a terrible venue.<\/p>\n
Complaints of a lack of crowd control, horrible washroom facilities, far away views, expensive concessions and a lack of organization are just some of the issues fans who have been to the open-air stadium before have brought up.<\/p>\n

One tiktok user, who said she would never go back to Rogers Stadium after rain ruined her Chris Brown show last August, was visibly disappointed over the Romantic Tour\u2019s choice in venue.<\/p>\n
Another fan who went to the same show said that a May concert outdoors would be a bad idea in the spring, especially when it\u2019s raining and windy, as what happened during her last concert.<\/p>\n
