I'm glad they are not playing stadiums. I've been to a few stadium concerts and promised myself never again. Generally far too much traffic getting in and out, most of the seating requires binoculars to get a decent view, and the weather plays a factor especially in the warmest and coldest climates.
As mentioned I think this tour and most of their previous tours were set up for arena's and amphitheaters.
Sure a few acts tour Stadiums but they also rely heavily on the wow factor of the show over the music IMO. Acts like the Stones, Taylor Swift, One Direction etc generally have a major stage with sub stages and loads of special effects and fireworks to keep the approx 50-60 thousand people visually entertained.
Honestly, I'd love to see the Mac again in a small intimate venue, but at this stage it seems very unlikely.
