  1. I’m not quite sure why AEW runs larger buildings if they only plan to fill half the building. They could run a smaller venue and look better on tv because the seats are all full versus having to darken the arena so the empty seats or tarped seats aren’t visible. Plus, the larger buildings cost more to run.

    • It’s not as much of an issue as it once was. They run a lot of smaller buildings for TV now. They still run bigger venues for pay-per-views, and they do okay. It looks like they’ll flirt with 10,000 for Full Gear. The Prudential Center holds roughly 16,000. With the stage taking up space, it should look good on TV. I went to Full Gear in 2021 at Target Center, which has a 20,000-seat capacity. The listed attendance was 10,442, which may have been embellished by 1,000 or 2,000. Either way, it was still a good atmosphere. I’ve been to WWE and WCW shows in the same venue when they only opened the lower bowl, and those were still fun shows.
