Is every person who lives in the area going to be on the street? Will any of them be driving? Did the Dome drastically increase its capacity beyond what numerous events in the past allowed?
My bet is locals are used to it, and just doesn't affect them day to day. The immediate area is clear of construction. Union Station is clear and built. We now have UBER. Many swifties are staying at hotels.
Let me know if the 11 year olds start overturning cars and setting things on fire.
It has nothing to do with overturning cars and everything to do with the redirection of traffic and the constant influx of people over the span of 7 days. When it's generating $280+ million, that isn't just having people come in and out, that's people staying in the city as well, added on with the redirection of traffic and inconveniencing of locals. A friend of mine lives just south of the Rogers Centre and she text me tonight saying what a pain it has been and it's only been two days, her literal words "Next Thursday can't come fast enough".
We got labeled as having the worst traffic in North America last year, now add this week long concert to the mix. Tell me how this is the same as 1990s Blue Jays SkyDome era again? lol
You're being intentionally dishonest that's all. Standing on a hill thinking 90s era Blue Jays + Toronto's population is the same as this week long concert + a city with the worst traffic in North America and it's population density.
Toronto population - 1992, 3.9 million
Toronto population - 2024, 6.4 million
"errr, it's the same"
