They didn't give any reason why. Maybe it's because in 2001 the concert there was by far not sold out. I have no idea. I wondered, too, since they always played there in the past at least one concert.
Yeah maybe so. But they played in sweden both in 2000 and 2001. In 2001 they played at arenas with more capacity than the Crush tour (in sweden). I think they would sell out a concert with around 15 000 people capacity...
I understand if they don't want to play at stockholms stadium again, One Wild Night tour there was 17 000 fans.. far from sold out. I heard Maiden will play there this summer and the tix were sold out real quick (37 000).
