WM28 open roof and record crowd?
1725
22
With 12+ months notice, you think WWE will/did work out an agreement to have the roof open for WM if the weather is good? At rogers centre, they don't open the roof for baseball games until May. Maybe if WWE worked out an agreement a year before, they could get them to open it for one night?
Would you rather a WM in a huge dome under the lights(just like WM18) or with the roof open meaning it'll be bright to start the show, then nighttime afterwards(and ppl are treated to CN Tower lit up)

(cn tower isn't lit up, but still...)
And as you can tell from the first pic, the big screen is gonna be where the stage is(just like last WM) and if you imagine how the stage,ramp and ring space will be like, you could picture probably 30,000 more people being able to watch the show.
So that's almost 80,000 people right there who will be at the show. The rogers centre added more seats since last WM so 80,000 seems like a number they'd reach which could make it a contender for largest crowd in wrestling history(WM3 supposed total number was 78,000) and most attended event in canadian history.

WM27 has a open roof though doesn't it? And rogers centre has been known for its limited fireworks due to the dome and the smoke staying in the building, and since WWE loves using pyros, we might not get to see as much pyros with a closed roof.

So is it confirmed that Wrestlemania XXVIII is going to Toronto? I'm just wondering if we're not counting our chickens before they hatch.
Nevertheless, if Wrestlemania is Toronto-bound in 2012, I suspect the roof would be closed, considering that the event is likely to take place on April 1 (since Easter Sunday is on April 8). From what I can gather, Toronto on April 1 is probably a rather brisk location, and it's in the EST time zone, meaning the show won't begin until 7:00 PM, and it would doubtless only get chillier as the evening progresses.
However, I suppose it's possible...

Nope. Georgia Dome is enclosed, all the way. But sunlight seeps through it during daytime, and should for the first hour or 90 minutes or so at Wrestlemania, considering the start time.

After having experienced a closed roof for 25 and an open for 26, I think I would prefer the closed because it just makes for a better atmosphere. Unless they can do it completely open like 24, it really isn't worth it imo. They can't do epic fireworks and noise escapes. I'd rather they have it closed.

Nope, it's just being widely assumed that Toronto is the destination. I would hardly be surprised if it turns out to be the case, but it has not been confirmed; it is not official.

WrestleMania next year could be in goddamn Iran and it wouldn't make a shred of difference. Death, taxes, and Christian world title speculation, my friend.

Wow, I have to admit that one shot is quite magnificent with the open roof. Either way, though, I'm sure it'll be immense.

Actually,I think the Iranian crowd would riot if a guy named Christian would win a World Title in their country...
Isn't that the U2 concert pic? That looks epic.Here's a pic from a concert, but WM setup will be basically the same. Looking at this pic, I think WM will be better with closed roof, but it'll suck if they can't have much pyros

I prefer closed roof,but opened when it's still sunny. I really love the "blue lights,packed arena,epic athmosfere". It makes WMs Main Event that much special.
Examples:
And that athmosfere owns such as WM24,WM26 and others...
Examples:
So I'm all for closed roof =)
