Arena, hands down. I'm so happy I got to see her in Milwaukee and be front row. I was able to be mere inches away from her for so many parts of the show, it was phenomenal. I hope she does more stages like that and people get to feel like it's part of an almost intimate setting.

I've had the chance to see the BTWBall in a stadium from the Monster Pit and it was the most epic thing in my life. But I've also seen other acts in stadiums, from the bleachers, and the least we can say is: a stadium isn't visually or sonically right for a concert. I'm glad I did it a couple of times, but now I'd choose an arena any day over a stadium.

Arenas. I was a big stadium advocate a few years back when she did all those stadium gigs for BTWB but actually going to one of those shows and after years of dwindling stadium popularity, I think they're over-rated. The market for stadium tours went right down in the last few years, hence why everyone, even major acts, started going back to arenas again. Recently, Coldplay, Rihanna and Beyonce are trying to make stadium tours happen again but honestly, I don't think it's time yet. If even Madonna and U2 can't do it, why would anyone else be mad enough to risk it? The feeling of intimacy in an arena is amazing, the sound quality is better, you've got air conditioning, the toilets and food stalls are easier to get to, you can enter and leave the venue so much easier, there's a big opportunity for multiple shows that are affordable to go to more than once...honestly, it's the best option. After artRave, I'm so glad Gaga came to Scotland twice at an arena (I was right underneath her the first time!) as opposed to once at a stadium. And I wouldn't have said that 4 years ago.

I've seen her in both, and the atmosphere really differs between the two purely because of there's pretty much twice the amount of people in a stadium than an arena. Arenas feel a lot more intimate as she can be a lot closer to you physically, but Gaga still made the stadium show feel like an intimate event too by talking to the crowd and putting on an incredible show. I'd happily see her in either venue again!

I know stadiums have a bad rep for audio, but the audio in London was so good that you could feel Government Hooker throughout your entire body and it was absolutely incredible. I'd love to experience that again :giveup:
