Last Sunday night the WWE presented WWE Stomping Grounds that took place at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. However, news were reported all across the internet that areas of the Tacoma Dome were tarped off due to a low attendance and low ticket sales for the event.
Photos and videos surfaced all across social media and the internet of fans inside the arena showing the amount of people that were entering the arena before the start of the show. The photos show half of the arena being blocked off and free tickets were being given out the day of the pay per view.
DEFY Wrestling’s Matt Farmer tweeted out an attendance report saying that there were 6,000 fans in attendance at the Tacoma Dome and noted that this may be the smallest WWE PPV crowd in a long time.
@davemeltzerWON maybe 6,000 in building. Tons of comps, 2 for 1's.
Probably smallest PPV crowd in a long time.
