Concerts: Indoor or Outdoor

As spring approaches, we all get a little fiendish for some outside time. I know my vitamin D level is pretty low right about now. What better way to enjoy the weather than at a concert? This brings about a very interesting question . . . do you prefer indoor or outdoor concerts? Let's look at the pros and cons of each to determine the winner:
Indoor concert Pros:
Never an inclement weather issue
High Possibility of good acoustics
Controlled temperature (most of the time)
Almost always have a seat

Indoor cons:
Hard to escape strangers body odor
Any type of fall most likely happens on a stair or concrete
Standing is often frowned upon

Outdoor Pros:
Great weather= even better concert
If you arrive early you can stake out a good seat
Blankets allow you to stretch out
Standing/dancing/singing at the top of your lungs encouraged

Outdoor Cons:
Inclement weather could mean canceled concert
If it rained the night before you will get dirty
Contact high (this could be a pro for some)
Idiots plowing people over drunk in the crowd

Well, I guess there is no definite winner, but I would go outdoor over indoor any (nice) day.
