Meltzer mentioned that AEW has a building booked for Full Gear in light of the new date. He couldn't confirm the location yet but had heard it was a Midwestern city. It could still be St. Louis but the way he was discussing it made me think it was somewhere else. If I had to guess, I'd go with Detroit. It would be their debut there and their shows have done incredibly strong ratings there.

What interesting is that WWE is running the same arena the week before for RAW.

if it is Detroit I think Ford Field would be too big? Maybe Little Caesars Arena?

if it is Detroit I think Ford Field would be too big? Maybe Little Caesars Arena? I think a fall PPV stadium show would be tough given the weather and the lack of a fly in crowd. Little Caesars would be a good choice and they could definitely price the tickets higher if All Out is any indication based on the secondary market. I could see them trying their first stadium show next year for either Memorial Day or Labor Day weekend.

If I'm not mistaken. WWE is running this same show a week prior to AEW showing up VERY interested how they draw in comparison. But 4000 plus on the onset is pretty damn good.

I wonder if we'll get any estimates on the attendance for DARK Tapings since apparently both sessions are already sold out.
For those curious: Soundstage 19 can hold up to 1400 people. That's a pretty damn big audience. Though they said there would be "Limited Attendance" so it might not be that number.

WWE is having RAW at the UBS Arena on November 29 then on December 8, AEW is having Dynamite and Rampage from there too. It be the first time WWE and AEW running the same arena back to back.

You can definitely social distance that way.

AEW is going back to Chicago at the Wintrust Arena for the Thanksgiving Eve show. Smart move considering how well they do there.

45 minutes from my house as opposed to 1 hour 25 minutes. You'll get that NW Indiana/SW Michigan crowd flocking in.
And, as I posted before, it's relatively new, only 4-5 years old. Still has that new building shine.
EDIT: Revolution 2020 drew 11,000.
