True, even a crowd of 40k will look HUGE on tv compared to normal crowd...I remember when RAW was at Rogers Center in Toronto (site of WM 6 and WM 18) and crowd looked massive despite not being a sell-out. Same for WCW Nitro at Astrodome and Georgia Dome.

I think SummerSlam could and should be held in a 30-40k outdoor stadium to be honest. Lots of soccer stadiums in the U.S. have that capacity, StubHub Center in L.A. and Sporting KC Stadium both come to mind.

Only on the internet would selling over 40k tickets to an event be seen as lol WWE.
I think this is the first time noted poster The CyNick and noted poster sliksuke nakamura have been on the same page. A very notable moment on this very noted day.
