Hi
Usually where the room model says is best, is best but fairly often, the room model is incomplete or there was lets say an AC duct placed in a bad spot after the plans were drawn.
Yes your right, indoors is harder than outdoors and you need even more directivity for intelligible voices etc. Also stadiums are hard because one rule is to use as few sources as possible, as close as possible, with as much directivity as possible.
Better than me trying to explain, have a look at a couple video's here;

The design program "Direct" is free and the "polar Explorer" lets you view and manipulate the spherical directivity balloon and data.
Here are a couple older video's i took at sound check at a couple venues, the last being a giant indoor facility with the roof closed.
Check out how large the steel work is, look for the stairs and the woofer with the eye shape is 10 feet tall.
