Why aren't there more music concerts at Baseball ballparks and football stadiums?

Question

I have been in both and it really seems to me these places are much more ideal for a big concert than some crappy amphitheatre? I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and have always wondered why we don't use our ballparks for concerts.

Answer 1

your ballparks have open roofs. rain rain go away come again another day cos everyone is waiting for the sun. ok done singing but the over head is a problem but is usually erased by high prices for everything and 30K to 50-70K isnt that big a deal because those extra people still have to pay for things. and another reason is the acoustics.but yeah i wouldnt mind more big huge stadium shows

Answer 2

Too much OVERHEAD!!! A little place let's the band put out far less costs in almost every aspect, from security right down to concessions. Way cheaper at a 30k place than a 50-75k seating arena. Good question!!!
