I too prefer arenas, much more intimacy and even those who don't have great seats it's still intimate .I saw Bon Jovi 20-03-10 at the Bell Center as I have many other times ,I was on th efloor 8 rows from the stage , he was right in front of me . Smiled and looked at me was very close( knock down gorgeous) . I just prefer arenas than stadiums , even for the show in Montreal , I got RZ tickets , and VIP seats 1st night, but even that's goinfg to be a fight for my place and look how expensive ,1000.00 two nights one ticket, me , myself and I .Compare to a floor ticket best seat in the house at 135.00 big difference . But I will go to any length for U2. Just love them ....
