Venue capacity

What's the largest venue that Styx has played by themselves since 1999? Has to be a ticketed concert, not New Years events or football games, etc.

Does this really matter at this point?

I'm curious to know. No other acts. Just Styx at a ticketed concert. What's the biggest they've played since 1999?

I'm with Boomchild on this one, I don't think it matters nor do I care

Yet for some reason you took the time to read all the posts and type a reply

Not that it matters, but you would want to target 1999 venues. After that, you might find an anomoly show. Midwest would be the hot spots for them. Chicago, Michigan, Illinois, St. Louis.
Off the top of my head you might want to look at Red Rocks and see if they have done a solo show, the same for The Zoo in Oklahoma. Those are 2 perennials they have done forever, but are conveniently off their schedule this year.
Everything today is going to be in the 2000 - 3000 seat area, maybe less in some spots.
