shotgun mics pointed at the sound source

Did you bother to read the thread at all? He's going to Wembley Stadium and has to sneak in gear. Pretty sure shotgun mics aren't going to be the solution here.

I agree. Except maybe mini shotgun mics from the At-853 series.
But I would opt for hypers instead of shotgun mics anyway.

The one bit of advice I have regardless of gear is to practice and know your gear whatever it is.  Trying to record a stadium show the first time out isn't likely to yield much of a recording.  Maybe go to an event at the venue to test security, practice rigging up, stealth a show.  Years ago I lent a rig to someone who wanted to record U2.  I kept telling him to do his homework and he got as far setting it up once.  After the show he messages me saying his batteries were bad and recorder wouldn't turn on.  I said was it on hold and he asks what's hold.  He looks at recorder and he accidently turned on the hold.

Stadium shows, nosebleed seats, and quality tapes are three things that historically don't pair well together. Best bet for stealth is to get a set of cardiods and point them to a repeater stack and hope that it's not a windy day.

I pulled very good sounding tapes this way. Hypers pointed at repeaters stacks in the nosebleeds.
