Not saying they should do stadium shows all the time but like one off specials of Raw, SD or Dynamite where they're at the beach, similar to when WCW would hold Nitros during Spring Break. Obviously youd have to take account the weather but I feel like they should do more of that. Its a different environment and you wouldnt have to worry about being stuck inside for 3+ hours.

I know GCW and CZW have done them on the indy loop but they dont do them nearly enough.

I'm all for unique venues. I don't think we ever see it regularly from a major company though, they make the most money but also the most obsessed with saving and it just seems like the less standard venues are never cost effective, or at least they aren't effective for maximizing gate

Honestly, yes please. I would love stuff like that. Give me something different every so often to make it feel special and unique.

GCW and DDT are the ones that come to mind to me that do them but obviously they're not as watched. There's some cool European arenas that I'd like to see ran too

I don't think they really go for the unique venues (other than the backyard show), but they're open when they find one in a town.

Even here in Dallas one show I went to they had to move it to what was basically a rundown boxing gym that for some reason had football goalposts setup and Gringo Loco and Psycho Clown jumped off them :lol

I'm sure pretty much everyone would love to see it happen but I just imagine it would be infinite amount of headaches for something that you're not going to gain anything from which is usually always the goal.
