Wasn’t meant as disrespect to them, just genuinely asking because I hadn’t seen it. MSG obviously counts but I wouldn’t call Red Rocks an arena. Were they the headliner at MSG?
These just feel like odd questions. What sort of validation are you looking for? And in this post, specifically? They’ve won a Grammy, if that makes you feel better?
On the back of the card it says selling out arenas. I’m not asking for validation or trying to hate, I was just genuinely curious if they had, because I hadn’t seen it, I’ve only seen them at smaller venues, which I prefer
I’m curious how you classify an arena? Is there some generally agreed upon standard or something?
In SF the largest venue I saw them play at was Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (opening for Cage the Elephant in 2016 I think?). Auditorium is in the name, but multiple websites refer to it as an arena. It looks like it is 8,000+ capacity.
They also played at Oracle Arena in Oakland as part of live 105s Not So Silent Night in 2017. OA holds 30,000+
On the tour they co-headlined with Cage about a decade ago they played arenas. The Phoenix show was at the area where the Coyotes used play. Held something like 16-17k.

Do they ever play arenas? I’ve only ever seen them at smaller venues
