I can't even imagine going to a 50k+ seat stadium for a concert. When the Beatles played Shea Stadium they couldn't hear the monitor speakers - although I was too young I suppose it would be a great talking point to attend even though it had to be a zoo. I prefer smaller acoustically sound halls IF/WHEN POSSIBLE, but end up seeing most concerts at SPAC.
I worked at the Carrier Dome at SU when I was in college there 1984/85. I went to lots of 40K concerts.
The biggest I was ever at was The Clash opening for The Who at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park. 80K screaming fans. That was The Who’s FIRST Farewell tour in 1982 or 83.
When I was 14 I could hear Lynyrd Skynyrd from the front lawn of our house. Three miles away from Rich Stadium.
But seeing Robert Cray play at the Nashua Preforming Arts Center from the front row is much better.
I was the guy who yelled to Robert “OTIS, MY MAN”. in reference to his playing with Otis Day and the Knights in the movie Animal House.
