c-towns Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 The Matador Ballroom is set to re-open in the fall of 2015. I read it either has a capacity of 3400 or that is the square footage, either way, its a size of room Toronto has been lacking. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2015/01/27/the-matador-music-club-to-rise-again-owner-says.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matador_Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Star article you posted says it's 3400 square feet.Doesn't seem all that big. Old article said that tearing down the building would make room for a 20-spot parking lot, to give an idea of the place's footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Look at it on Streetview. There's absolutely no way it has a capacity larger than Roy Thomson Hall, Massey Hall, etc or venues even a quarter that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Regardless, probably good to have another venue around and good to save that historic place. I didn't know much about it until reading those articles. Interesting history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
