FACT: The WWE considers it a disappointment when a WrestleMania draws less than $1,000,000 US. Given the current exchange rate, that means that a Saddledome crowd would have to draw about $1.2 million Canadian, divided up amongst probably somewhere in the vicinity of 18,500 seats (TOPS).
That's an average ticket price of about $65. Feasable, but unlikely.

The Saddledome holds a maximum of 19 244 for hockey games. There is also a lot of floor space that more seats could be added to if Wrestlemania was to be held there. I'd say 22 000 would be a very realistic estimate. [/b][/quote]
Actually there would be less than 2000 floor seats available, and most of those would just make up for the sections that they would lose for the entrance area etc (probably at least 4 sections in the end of the Dome where the club isn't and the seats go right up to the concourse, based on other events, so at best you break even.
