As the title says, I have a question about the stage setup at Madison Square Garden. Here goes, Why is it when WWE has PPV events at MSG, the stage is tiny and cramped but when they have shows like Raw, Smackdown and/or ECW there, the stage is at normal size. Is it some sort of tradition to have a tiny stage for PPV events.

I think the tiny stage allow for more seats but i like that entrance period for any event, its B.A

For PPVs, the entrance ways are smaller to have more attendance. For RAW's, I guess they just sacrifice those lost seats for the stage.

Either, get more attendance, or no room for massive stage?

Well they had Wrestlemania XX there and they had the big stage. They were able to still cram in 20,000 people for WrestleMania XX because the set was short in height. They use the players' tunnel walkway as the entrance for PPVs in order to fit more people into the Garden. It's less of a sacrifice for any TV tapings. |

Its the way MSG is set up. It is more complicated than a normal up to date arena to back the trucks in and unload everything. Thats why you dont see near as many RAW's or Sd's at MSG
