I could see him have mostly outdoor venues for this reason. (I realize that the Stampede was an outdoor venue, but the website says it seats only 17,000).

For example: Magnetic Hill in Moncton can handle 80,000+ that should cover the Maritimes better than 3 or 4 shows at the Halifax Metro Centre which is what he did last time.

Or McMahon in lieu of the Saddledome; BC Place over Rogers Arena; Rogers Stadium over ACC; The Big O over Bell Centre; etc.

I'd say he will make use of football stadiums and ballparks to maximize the amount of people that he can play to in one night.
