Live Nation hands Toronto engineering report on Rogers Stadium damage
A "100-year storm" battered Toronto last week, leaving bleachers strewn across Rogers Stadium, which, in the aftermath, also appeared to have partially collapsed grandstands.
The City of Toronto has received an engineering report from Live Nation regarding damage sustained by Rogers Stadium during a massive rain and hail storm last week. The "100-year storm" left the stadium with bleachers scattered across the site and partially collapsed grandstands. City inspectors gave Live Nation a violation notice, ordering the venue to close, retain an engineer for inspection, and promptly commence repairs.
The City of Toronto stated that they will continue working with the venue owner throughout the process. Live Nation had until September 8 to share its findings and proposed solutions with the city, which they met. Following that, the city required Live Nation to follow all suggested steps by the engineer and update the city by September 11 on the progress made.
Reconstruction work will necessitate a building permit. As of now, Live Nation has not responded to a request for comment from Global News. The promoter previously expressed their intention to continue collaborating with Toronto's technical teams.
