For what it's worth, when I saw "Weird Al" Yankovic on his last tour - for
"Poodle Hat" - it wasn't in a stadium, but it WAS in an outdoor
amphitheater...and I was pleasantly surprised at how full it was. And given
that his last album proved to be one of the most successful of his career
("White & Nerdy" was his first-ever top 10 single), I'm guessing he'll still
be playing those sized venues come his upcoming spring / summer tour...
