    The basketball stadiums do have artists that can fill them up but a football stadium is like Michael Jackson in his prime level seating.

      There are legitimately only 3 or 4 artists in the world with any possibility of filling a stadium right now. Unless you have Taylor Swift and Beyoncé coming regularly, there’s just no chance of a decent return.

        Ehh. I’d say any of the following could still fill an NFL stadium:

        Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Madonna, Britney Spears, Blackpink, The Weekend, Lizzo, reunion tours of NSYNC/Spice Girls/Backstreet Boys/U2/Guns n Roses/Metallica/Foo Fighters/One Direction, others I’m forgetting. But yes, most could not.

        Maybe in any given year a stadium would be used for a concert 3-4 times, but there’s definitely more than 4 acts that can fill stadiums. George Strait just did a sold out stadium tour this year.

        Still not something the city/state should pay for.

        Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Bad Bunny, and aging classic rock acts doing a “final tour”. And those last ones are gonna start to get few and far between

          U2, Paul McCartney, and The Rolling Stones did notable stadium tours in the last decade or so I think. But yeah other than that it’s one-offs like when the dead did Fare Thee Well. I bet outside or major markets the NFL stadiums don’t get used for concerts more than like 3x a year on average.
