I have been hearing rumors that the Stones are indeed planning some more shows in North America after they finish with South America.

On the Dave Matthews Band forum antsmarching.org, there was reported a Stones rumor for this summer at the Watkins Glen racecourse, in New York state. The rumor states that DMB, Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen will all play concerts at the venue this summer.

Rumor hints at a multi-act show in August:
"I got confirmation. Dave Matthews Band at Watkins Glen Racetrack...Mid August. Rolling Stones as well, and 1 other major act. I know someone who is a higher up at the track. I'm sure no one will believe me on here, but it's happening."

The Stones LOVE BOSTON! And the Brooklyn show was awesome so maybe the Barclay Centre will host a few shows! The one I saw there was excellent! Also, how about a return to Hartford? They also LOVE PHILLY! I don't think the MSG shows are lame at all! I'm sure they can fit in a few gigs there...money talks!

Why do you rule of arenas? If they did 5 nights at MSG it would accommodate well over 110,000. Plus no hassles with bad weather. I thought the HUGE shows were taken care of in the Zip Code Tour! Hope they stick to INSIDE gigs! I skipped the stadiums because I hate that many people at a show and to pay $500 to get WET..not for me anymore!

It exactly 10 years this week since they last played Madison Square Garden.

The difference in profit for a stadium show versus an arena show is not as great as you think. Stadium shows use a large, expensive stage that requires a large labor force to assemble, more security and ushers, and higher logistical overhead. Tickets for arena shows are generally priced higher on average and while the number of arena seats is much less than in a stadium, the net profit can be close.

No the difference in profit is exactly what I think. The Stones are only responsible for the "show" portion of the costs, things like security, ushers ticketing and advertisement and other venue related expenses are the responsibility of the promoter. Of course the Stones operate from guarantees and who can deny Mick is going to get the best deal for the Stones and considerably more money for the band (after expenses) for the stadium shows. It isn't a direct linear relationship based on the number of seats for the reasons you state but I suspect it it significant. For sold out stadiums the band probably makes more that it's guarantee.

Nothing special about their fans? What does that mean? NYC has been a second and first home for the band and their families for years. That was an ignorant comment on your part.
