This may seem like an odd question, but do you think we will get a massive, WrestleMania type stage for the Royal Rumble since it is a stadium show now? Or can you see the WWE setting up a small scale entrance similar to the 97 Rumble?
Just thinking because I doubt they want guys running down a 35 yard ramp full sprint, risking injury.

I don't know I think the big 4 should have unique designs from now on, but nothing that could out do a wrestlemania stage so.......

The Alamodome has several possible configurations. I'm guessing they have a tentative idea of how they're going to set it up for now, and they can adjust based on ticket sales. They could easily make the place look full even if they only sell 25,000-30,000 seats. If that ends up being the case, I'd imagine they'll just use a standard size entrance.

I'd imagine they are looking to top the 1997 attendance figure. We should have an idea next week seeing as tickets go on sale next friday. |

They are definitely trying to make the 'big 4' feel big again. Did they offer travel packages to last years Rumble?

I would guess they would go for bigger so they can block seats and fill the stadium to give it a full look on top of them already padding the numbers in attendance.
Weren't they able to fill it last time because they practically gave tickets away to get cheeks in seats?

Weren't they able to fill it last time because they practically gave tickets away to get cheeks in seats? Bruce Prichard was asked about the 1997 Royal Rumble on his podcast. His response was tickets were so cheap, people could afford to go. Additionally, Prichard mentioned the Alamodome was/is a cheap venue to rent. Which influenced the WWE to hole the 1997 Royal Rumble at said venue. I can see tickets being way more when compared to ticket prices of 1996/1997. Given the market, the WWE could easily sell out the Alamodome. |

I honestly may make the trip down if tickets are reasonable in the 100 level or risers. My sister is hooking me up with Mania tickets through Disney so to be able to go to both would be amazing.

I hope they give it a unique stage set like the old days and not the same sets they pretty much give all ppvs nowadays not named WrestleMania.

I miss stage setups that didn't block out an entire 1/4th of an arena. I think early 2001 was the last time stage setups for PPV's didn't completely take out an entire side of an arena. I miss stage setups like the ones used during 97/98/99/00 PPV's. Call me old fashioned, but I hate massive sized stages. My favorite PPV setup is pretty much Wrestlemania 2000.

I imagine it will have a stage different to the current RAW/SD type stages, but configuration will more or less be the same. |

There will probably be a small setup. Saw that there's a monster truck event the Sunday before. They take a day or two to remove all the dirt, so wwe only has 5 days to finish. Mania takes more than 2 weeks. Maybe they'll only use half the stadium? plus 30k is easier to sellout.

Honestly the Royal Rumble has always been my favorite event....with that being said, it doesnt matter what kind of stage they have or where they hold it, if the winner is predictable like it usually is, its gonna suck.
