I agree that is the progression for all but the most legendary acts. Here's a list of the (still active) rock bands I think still sell out football stadiums:

Stones
Pink Floyd
Sabbath
AC/DC
KISS
Van Halen (maybe?)
Metallica
G'NR (whenever Axl feels like it)
Judas Priest (maybe?)

I am not aware of any (still active) 90's rock band selling out football stadiums today. Nirvana would if Cobain were still alive. Bush was a pretty big 90's band and I think they are basically playing clubs in England (lol). Foo Fighters can come close, but I think they are more in the basketball arena sized venues.

Pearl Jam still sells out a stadium every now and then.

The bit about multiple songwriters in the band is true too. If you can’t manage your egos to write collaboratively, one will always feel their creativity held back by the other, and success will drive them apart.
