Yeah they're using the Super Stage.

But they don't. They said they had 80K for Taylor Swift, but they didn't. The place isn't rated by the Fire Code to even hold that many people for a public gathering. The Super Stage's Occupancy Load Card limits the facility to 65,000 attendees - ie the Super Stage's
legal capacity is 65,000 - and it wasn't full that night. It was crowded for about the first 1/3 of the distance from the stage, but much sparser farther out from it.
Let's put it this way, ACL Fest has multiple stages and often has huge crowds at 2 or 3 stages at one time. They have a usable area that's 3-4x larger than the area in use at the Super Stage, and they're limited by the City to 75,000 people.
For the Stones, COTA will say they drew over 100k, which is what Bobby has been dying to do. If they actually draw 100k, they'll say it's 150k+. Of course they can't legally have that many people at the Super Stage, but it didn't stop them from claiming over 80k for Taylor Swift.

Yep, they'd have a lot more room and it would be a much better setting.
