    WWE announces Survivor Series set for Chicago

    When is someone gonna do a big show at the Carrier Dome? Seems crazy they've neglected that stadium for so long. Surely Syracuse isn't too far out of the way to draw like 30-40k for an important show right?

    Related I guess but also unrelated to the actual subject... It's interesting how few open air stadiums in there seems to be in the US that fill that gap between the 10-20k capacity of basketball stadiums and the 60k+ of a lot of football stadiums :lol It's basically just baseball stadiums and...

    It's a great venue for any show I'd say. I'm sure that's what the press said. :slip:

    These are valid points. Trying to put MITB in a football stadium was QUITE ambitious, even if they were just aiming for like 40k.

    WWE themselves know they don't need to make the Blood Money shows anything that the average fan is gonna have investment in. As long as it's what the Saudis are asking for, they can do any type of shit and then just act like it never happened afterwards :lol

    WWE announces Survivor Series set for Chicago

    I would say if anything Survivor Series has become much more important in the last like 7 years than it was for a lot of the late 2000s early 2010s. We got Lesnar/Goldberg there, annual battles between World Champions, the return of War Games... I see why you'd consider Blood Money from a...

    Additionally I think a lot of the Big 4 perception comes from the fact that whenever there have been periods of brand exclusive PPVs, Survivor Series has always been one of the dual-branded ones.

    Packing in 15k is great, should be a great crowd
