I'm not a stadium show fan for many of the reasons already listed, but I haven't been to an amphitheater type show I haven't enjoyed. Yeah, weather can always be iffy, but it's so awesome to be outside in the fresh air. Maybe it's because I live in a state where you don't really want to do much of anything outside for 4 months except ski or snowshoe! When you can just lay down a blanket and sit enjoying the company of friends before the show starts; good times. It's also a lot easier to have kids with at outdoor shows because there is more ability to move around.
Europeans & South Americans have stadium shows down to a science. Arenas work best in Canada and the States.
I definitely agree with this unless you do a smaller outdoor venue in North America or some of the selected few bigger one's mentioned; Red Rocks, Gorge, Alpine).
I actually prefer shows at outdoor amphitheaters!! We have a GREAT venue here in Columbus that holds around 6,000 people for outdoor shows. The venue also has an indoor "club" that uses the same stage, and they have an INCREDIBLE sound system!! It's a little too small for a PJ show... but have seen My Morning Jacket, Beck, Band Of Horses, The National, Modest Mouse, The Black Crowes, The Killers, Flaming Lips, Jane's Addiction, Wilco and many other groups there!!
I saw Shakey Graves and the Avetts there summer 2015. Good times.

If you include the UK as part of Europe Id disagree, I hate the stadium shows here, they tend to feature in soulless new football stadiums with awful acoustics, however we have some great stadium sized shows held at various open parks which are fantastic and dont have that restricted sound echo bouncing around. Arena shows are better as most of the UK arenas have been refurbed recently but id take a PJ show anywhere here.

i honestly hate both. pearl jam is only band that i will go see in an arena/stadium. i'd rather be in a club with 1000 or less people. huge shows are just such a drag. luckily i'm usually pretty close for pj. call me a snob but if i can't actually SEE the band and i mean like their fingers on the fretboard, then i'd rather not even be there. i can watch it on youtube haha but to answer the original question: arena. it's smaller
considering i will never see neil young or pearl jam or u2 in a club and also i will never see jason isbell in a stadium i would say it is what it is and i personally never let the any venue determine whether i go to a show or not. i am done with up-close expensive arena tickets. back of the venue for me in the cheap seats. i can see more shows that way ....and while i babble on...i must say one of PJ's most noblest things they do is not tier their tickets prices
club>arena>stadium that being said special one offs can be fun ala wrigley, fenway, etc..

"I play good, hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
Amphitheatres!!! While I get the whole sound quality thing, there's just something magical about being outside near nature that really corresponds to PJ's music. I feel like I've seen the inside of 2/3's of the hockey arenas in NA, and frankly, aside from a few, the more historic ones (like the Joe), I find them to be like the Big Box Stores of music entertainment. I would rather just 4 shows at the Gorge and Red Rocks than 20 shows in arenas at this stage. And there are so many throughout the states!! How cool would a 15-20 show run be at the Gorge, Red Rocks, Alpine, Jones Beach, Curzan, Shoreline, Hollywood Bowl, Jay Pritzker Pavillion, Wolf Trap, Merriweather, and what the heck, why not the Les Schaub theatre in Bend, it is in the epicentre of craft beer (and the venue really supports the locals - seeing the National there a few years ago was my best beer at a concert experience ever - so fresh, relatively cheap - and so tasty), has an idyllic river setting that you can paddle down and even watch the show from a kayak or SUP, and is close enough to go to the Gorge too!

Let's skip the mid-October show. :teeth chattering: MM was a rather chilly show! However, it was a GREAT show and they do have an incredible sound system. EL is on my list of venues to return to.
While I admit that I screen watched most of the time despite being mid field at Wrigley, I wouldn't trade that show for anything in the world. A BIG thanks to friends who upgraded my tickets so that my husband and I could be where we were. (We could have done without the puker, though.) The weather finally cooperated right before the show and it was a fabulous night!
I have had great tickets at places- up front, rail and all that. I have had tickets where we could have gone Sistine on the ceilings. Still, sound is everything to me and I guess I would prefer an awesome sound rather than beads of sweat flying onto me.
AGREED... Modest Mouse was a COLD show!!! I'd choose an outdoor show over an arena any day... Red Rocks, The Gorge, Alpine Valley, even Deer Creek in Indianapolis, nothing beats GREAT music under the stars!!

I haven't missed a Philly area show since 1998 but if they played Camden again I'd have to consider it. I have no desire to go back there.

Yeah, I'm talking about Camden very specifically. I will NEVER miss a PJ show in the Philly area. I've seen the band in...probably 25+ different cities. And Philly shows are my favorite. There's just an edge and intensity to the crowd that you don't find everywhere else. Although Philly night 1 this year was the first time I almost got in a fight at a PJ show since the 90's.
arena. saw them outdoors with 35,000 other drunks at Sunfest 93, and while it was cool to see them live back then, I was too timid, even at 19 years old, to get close with all the mud and shoe slinging and moshing and whatnot, so I was really far back. Have the DVD though, which is nice. arena shows are comfortable. especially for a 42 year old.

It was impressive.
Arena shows are better as most of the UK arenas have been refurbed recently but id take a PJ show anywhere here.

i am done with up-close expensive arena tickets. back of the venue for me in the cheap seats. i can see more shows that way
....and while i babble on...i must say one of PJ's most noblest things they do is not tier their tickets prices
for the OP...an arena. x 10
that being said special one offs can be fun ala wrigley, fenway, etc..

I've seen multiple people piss in the sinks... at a PJ show...
And of course there is the lovely city of camden...
Arena always over stadiums or sheds.
Although Philly night 1 this year was the first time I almost got in a fight at a PJ show since the 90's.
