Budweiser Stage

The Budweiser Stage is a concert venue in Toronto. It is located on the grounds of Ontario Place, and hosts many diverse acts, including genres like rock, pop, and jazz. The first musician to perform here was Bryan Adams on May 18, 1995. The original structure consisted of a vinyl canopy, which was replaced by a copper canopy roof in 1978. Its unique configuration consisted of a round stage, which was upgraded in 1976. The amphitheatre has a capacity of approximately 16000. There are 5500 reserved seats under the 60-foot-high covered roof, 3500 seats under the open sky, and 7000 seats on the grass bowl. The floor area has an unreserved capacity of 1000. There are also Club and VIP seats for season ticket-holders. The video support system gives everyone in the audience a closeup of the performers on stage.
