I would also imagine the price point per ticket becomes less profitable overall. You can sell arenas for a premium but no one wants to pay $200 to sit in row xx of the second deck at a 100k capacity football stadium.
Further to that, I bet festivals exploding in popularity have ended most stadium tours viability.
All that being said, I just saw Rammstein play the first stop of their first ever NA stadium tour in Montreal and it was ####ing incredible. Could never pull that #### off in an arena. By far the most largest, most spectacular and most elaborate stage production I’ve ever seen, possibly in the history of live music. It was ####ing insane. That kind of thing, you can’t do in a 20k arena.

I didn't even know that was a stadium show. Was it sold out?
