That’s a lot of people. Live fans are one of the most important things to have at a wrestling show. The more people around, the more energy the wrestlers can feed off of and also the more instant feedback they can get. Fans are not required, but they can certainly help a lot. They have been missing for a long time now, but that is about to change and in a good way.
The Coronavirus has changed the way wrestling works, with the biggest change being the lack of fans in attendance. WWE has not had any significant number of fans in person for a show in over a year now but that is about to change. WrestleMania 37 is going to feature fans in attendance, and now we know just how big of a deal it could be for both the show and the company.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and Jon Alba of Spectrum Sports 360, WWE is hoping to have 45,000 fans in attendance on both nights of WrestleMania 37. This would be by far the highest attendance for a sporting event since the Coronavirus began. Tickets go on sale this coming Tuesday, with single night and combination night tickets both available.
I can independently confirm reports #WWE is aiming for about 45,000 people per night at Raymond James Stadium for #WrestleMania, which would be by far the largest crowd at a sports or entertainment event in America since the pandemic began. @BN9 @MyNews13

Those fans will get to see something great. Check out some memorable WrestleMania moments:
Opinion: This is the kind of thing that sounds great on paper but there is a difference between having a goal of 45,000 people per night and getting 45,000 people inside the stadium. That’s a lot of people to get to have at a show and the card is not exactly looking great in the first place. I’m not sure if this is going to work, but even having a big crowd is going to help so much.
