A new report from the Tampa Bay Times has provided additional details on the seating capacity and safety protocols in place for WrestleMania 37 in Tampa next month.
Reporter Eduardo A. Encina notes that approximately 25,000 seats will be opened for each night of WrestleMania, representing 36 percent of the capacity at Raymond James Stadium. The Tampa Bay Times noted that the Super Bowl, at the same stadium, operated at 38 percent capacity but included 7,500 vaccinated health workers.
It was reported by several outlets that WWE’s previous plan was seeking closer to 45,000 per night. The company abruptly halted Tuesday on-sale for tickets and was pushed to this Friday.
The Tampa Bay Times also reports that safety protocols will include seating pods, social distancing, masks to be worn at all times, temperature checks, health screenings, cashless concessions, and mobile ticketing. There will be free masks being distributed upon entry to the events.
Tickets for WrestleMania 37 go on sale this Friday at 10 am ET with an internet pre-sale beginning Thursday at 10 am.
WrestleMania 37 takes place Saturday, April 10th, and Sunday, April 11th and will be WWE’s first large-scale event with fans since last March. The company has accommodated small numbers of fans at the NXT tapings at the WWE Performance Center while utilizing the ThunderDome with a virtual audience for Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
