They used it for easy applause, the screens would show jerseys of that town's sports team, they would flash the name of the city. I think it's incredibly pandering and easy clapping but my god it worked. People ate it up at the shows I saw and the people with the biggest problem were the ones who were sick of the song being shoved at them tour after tour. So...50 people maybe.

It's not about being clueless, they're serving a part of the audience that likes fireworks and happy endings not people who know they have better songs. Just my take on it.
