Is traffic a nightmare for concerts as well? Anyone have any pointers on parking/tailgating?
Looking forward to my first show of the tour!

No tailgating allowed in Toronto. You can try and tailgate in the lots, but really it's not like tailgating in the US and you will have stuff taken away if they find you drinking.
There are good bars within walking distance, hands down the closest one is the Brazen Head pub. It's about 7 minutes walk from the north parking lots, going underneath the train station and hanging a right.
You can use Google maps select "WALK" to get from Exhibition Station to Brazen Head pub.
That is where I believe we will be hanging out before the show if I can get the patio reserved for us. I know the owners here so hopefully we can get some leeway. Shouldn't be too busy on a Saturday with no game, but closer to show time it will get busy.
I had originally set up meeting at the Boathouse on Queens Quay when we first all tailgated before the Toronto show in 2004 because I knew the owners there really well, but the walk is way longer. It's around a 40 minute walk from Boathouse - less than 15 from Brazen.
Traffic on a Saturday won't be too bad.
