The fundamental issue is that entertainment venues are largely undersized for the local population these days. New ones don't open up very often. They have not kept up with population growth.

In the US it is hard to build a properly big venue anymore because the parking situation becomes untenable and public transit expansion has slowed to a crawl in the past 60 years. You can't build a massive venue because it would have to be surrounded by acres and acres of parking. So if you want to put it in the city there is no parcel of land big enough, and if you want to put it out in the country the roads can't handle it.



Underground parking and rapid transit access could reduce the extent of problem.
