Well, Hershey Stadium certainly does not have a larger field area than GIANTS Stadium, Fed Ex Field, Lincoln Financial Field, etc. Again, the bleachers on either side of the field can hold a maximum of 16,000 people. The rest are on the field. The Police played to 31,000 people at Hershey Stadium in 2007. Bruce Springsteen played to 31,000 people there in 2008. These are official numbers posted in the Billboard.com Boxscore chart. If you only had 7,000 people on the field, it would be more than half empty and the attendance would be 23,000 and not 31,000.
