Arena. Not even close. I’d like to never go to a ballpark again for a concert

Arena

The show experience is far better at an arena show. This band's music was meant to be played in arenas. The benefit of the ballpark shows is that they can accommodate more ticket requests, which makes it much easier to get a ticket in bigger markets.

(Sad that I have to say this too but the nice thing about arena shows is that you get 1 city specific poster and 1 city specific shirt as opposed to 4-6 different things for ballpark shows. Keeps the merch bill a LOT lower.)

I went ballpark.  Arena shows get SO loud it is uncomfortable, even with hearing protection. An  even sound is much harder to achieve indoors, where an outdoor venue will likely offer better sound across the board. Not saying the sound is better outdoors, just have a better chance at getting bad sound in some locations indoors because that's how sound works. Sound in Cincy 2013 was horrible in my section, walked the aisle a couple sections and it sounded great. Nature of the beast.

A third choice, Amphitheater, would be my actual vote. Closer reserved seats available, yet outdoors.

I dig the arena offers reserved seats closer than a ballpark, so that's a win for many. Reserved seats on the field at Wrigley were probably farther away than a decent side seat at an arena, so by the odds I would have a better view in an arena.

But, if I have choice of seat in venue, I'm going with ballpark.

Agreed.... Amphitheatre is ideal

I enjoy a ballpark once in a while but arena hands down
