Music And Football Stadiums

 Music And Football Stadiums.

There are many concerts held at the biggest football stadiums. I have seen a few. Often football (soccer) stadiums hold music festivals or concerts. 

The concerts must make money for the music stars and football clubs and also give people at the grounds a fun time. 

I know of people who have been abroad to watch concerts at massive football stadiums in Barcelona and other great European stadiums. 

Sometimes the concerts are held at major stadiums, like Celtic Park, Ibrox, Karaiskakis Stadium, Stade de Suisse, Stadio Olimpico (Rome), Stade de France, Hampden, the San Siro, Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux, Estádio da Luz, Estádio do Dragão, Estadio Municipal de Balaídos, the Camp Nou,  

Great stadiums like the National Stadium, Warsaw (Poland), have held concerts. 

But sometimes the smaller football grounds hold concerts or festivals which can be fun too. 

I suppose the biggest issue is what to do with the pitch. As the pitch can get damaged by music concerts or festivals. 

Football stadiums are built to provide great atmospheres for sports games. So they should provide a good atmosphere for a rock, pop, or hip hop concert. 

Football stadiums tend to be outdoor. But you can find indoor stadiums, that can provide protection from the rain, and snow. 

I have also seen rock groups performing songs before sports matches on special occasions. That can be fun too. 

American football stadiums, rugby stadiums, basketball arenas, and baseball stadiums also hold concerts. 

There are national stadiums built for many different sports that hold concerts too. 

I wonder if the designers of stadiums just focus on the sports or also take into account the money making potential of music at their stadiums?

It is great for people who loves sports and music to have sports and music at the same venue.
