Comments
They ran this arena as one of the first Dynamites which had The Lexicon of Jericho segment. They drew 4200 according to Observer. Might have been less. Risky place to pick. I hope they make cheap Student sections. This is at a University.

2024-07-16 12:38:31 +0000 UTCMost people in the area are going to go to All Out rather than a Dynamite. You can only max out an area so much if you are AEW. It might have been a good idea to go to a nearby state like Ohio or Michigan (Detroit anyone??) for this show.

2024-07-15 23:30:19 +0000 UTCMaybe the people complaining about them going to Little Rock, AR or Southaven, MS and not sticking to only bigger markets will learn from this - if you go to the same 10 markets multiple times a year then you will saturate them and they won't be strong markets anymore. 6k will turn into 5k then 4k and so on, a trend we've seen with the attendance numbers for the Kia Forum in LA.

2024-07-15 19:38:25 +0000 UTCSite is 3 hours away from NOW Arena. I assume all the local people willing to drive 3 hours for All Out can probably be convinced to go to a show closer to home. That’s AEW’s problem to figure out though.

2024-07-15 19:32:16 +0000 UTCAbusing the shit out of Illinois area. Dynamite 2 weeks ago, Champaign show, All Out & Collision all within 45-60 days if each other, it's too much. This arenas is only 2 hours from Chicago, that's an easy drive for most but it with this many shows together. People will just catch the closer shows.

2024-07-15 19:32:15 +0000 UTCReally expected a bit more than that here
