You have to remember a couple of things:
- Buffalo isn't exactly the most populous place on the planet, even with Canadia just north of our unwalled border. Other than The Jacksons, the only concert that shows selling out was The Who in 82. (but there are a lot of concerts with no data - and they only show 60k for Guns N' Roses/Metallica in 92 & that place was packed)
- 70-80k is a lot of fucking people. Most arenas (hockey/basketball) hold 15-20k. Baseball stadiums are 40-50k. If a band sells out our arena, that's a big deal. Move those 20k people to the stadium & you'd wonder why they bothered to put on a show.
