-- WWE’s last show at the Amway Center will be the 12/7 Monday Night (rather than the 12/4 Smackdown as previously reported) and the company will immediately shift to Tropicana Field in the Tampa Bay area for Smackdown later that week on 12/11. The domed baseball stadium, which is home to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, will likely be the venue for WWE events until towards the end of March with the baseball team scheduled to begin their season on 3/30.
-- There have been some concerns with how the finalized product will come off on TV at Tropicana Field due to the enormous size of the venue causing sound issues, though WWE pipes in crowd noise and will have a measure of control over that. The other issue is said to be a “colony of pigeons” which lives in the roof of the dome, according to the Observer Newsletter.
