The open-air and capacity to cater to more people than an indoor venue\u00a0allows for a more elevated musical atmosphere.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest concerts are almost always in the setting of a sports arena, as they can hold tens of thousands of people and can easily be converted for a short event.&nbsp;But what are some of the best that are used from time to time to hold concerts across the United States?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FirstEnergy Stadium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Home of the Cleveland Browns of the National Football&nbsp;League, the FirstEnergy Stadium is the leading arena in Ohio.&nbsp;Aside from the musical side of the venue, the Browns have begun their NFL season rather poorly losing five games already including being on the receiving end of a 38-15 thrashing to the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have shown little sign that their fortunes will turn around as the season goes on,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonusfinder.com\/ohio\/oh-sports-betting\/promo-codes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BonusFinder has listed a lot of sportsbooks promo codes for Ohio<\/a>, to ensure you can receive the best odds and offers when betting on the NFL this season. Sportsbetting has become incredibly popular across the US and in Ohio, which is made all the easier with so many apps being available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Well, that was fun&#8230; Re-live the Browns&#39; Halloween Night Football win over Cincinnati \u2b07 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KEnURT2EVq\">https:\/\/t.co\/KEnURT2EVq<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/trdW3QiJAO\">pic.twitter.com\/trdW3QiJAO<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Cleveland Browns Stadium (@Browns_Stadium) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Browns_Stadium\/status\/1587519709871996928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 1, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The musical success found in this stadium, however, is a lot more noticeable. The venue hosted concerts over the summer including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/machine-gun-kelly-firstenergy-stadium-cleveland-show-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one in August headlined by Machine Gun Kelly<\/a>, while back in 2018 Beyonce and Jay-Z also performed at the FirstEnergy Stadium.\u00a0It has proved an extremely popular venue for Ohioans to experience their favourite artists live, ultimately holding\u00a0almost 68,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MetLife Stadium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The home of both the New York Giants and New York Jets is a multi-purpose outdoor arena that is used for a variety of different events. With two top NFL teams playing there, it is often filled with tens of thousands of fans and has the ability to hold up to 82,500 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also hosts concerts for some of the biggest music stars in the world, next May\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/entertainment\/entertainment-news\/taylor-swift-adds-8-shows-to-the-eras-tour-here-are-the-dates\/3939577\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taylor Swift will perform the New Jersey\u00a0leg of her &#8216;Eras&#8217; tour<\/a>\u00a0at the MetLife Stadium. With Taylor currently heralded as one of the most popular artists in the world, the aforementioned venue capacity is a huge advantage. On the one hand, a greater number of fans get to experience the spectacle together. On the other, more revenue generated leads to more concerts in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/MetLifeStadium\/status\/1589270141023522823?s=20&#038;t=EHMjnKlCCmUH-oO_fLEIWg\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, the Barclays Arena in New York is an indoor arena that also hosts concerts and is home to the Brooklyn Nets basketball team. However, due to being an indoor venue,&nbsp;its capacity only allows for around a quarter of what the&nbsp;MetLife Stadium can cater to. The use of outdoor arenas for mainstream artists&#8217; concerts offers only pros as there are few limitations to allowing more people to witness the stars in the flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many major cities, there are venues&nbsp;dedicated solely to holding entertainment and music events, but perhaps the use of outdoor sporting arenas is the future. Surely more people attending and creating a huge atmosphere leads to an improved experience for all involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outdoor concert venues often offer the best atmosphere to enjoy the leading music artists in.
