Not just for the Stones, for any rock band. Arenas are the sweet spot, big enough for a giant spectacle and yet still small enough so you can connect with the audience.
That would be a fitting end for the Stones, a retro-style arena tour then Royal Albert Hall for the end.

Indoor arenas .... the sound is not great. Booming echo sound.
The Stones seem to have perfected the stadium sound since the turn of the century.
It depends on where your seats are,to some extent,I suppose.
Really,I believe that they should look into more theaters and clubs.

problem is that arenas will result in even higher ticket prices.
(Arnhem, Dusseldorf and Paris in 2017 were not really areans but stadiums with a closed roof)

The greed levels are embarrassing. 20,000 people x $30 a ticket is $600,000. It's not a huge amount of money but it sounds like enough to put on a show and get to the next gig if you can be rational in the way you plan it.

WTF? You have no clue how the business works. Aside from the fact those $30 tickets would be on Stubhub for $500, there are a lot of costs putting and keeping a major touring act on the road. A band like the Stones doesn't need the money but If Mick is making $10k a show and sleeping in a tour bus he is not going on tour.
