The lousy weather wasn't the only hindrance to fan enjoyment at WrestleMania 29. The set configuration, which included four ground-level columns holding up an elaborate canopy, prevented an estimated several thousand fans from being able to see the ring in full (particularly those whose view of the ring was blocked by the pillars).

A number of fans apparently chanted, "WE CAN'T SEE", and many of them were given a chance to move to an area with more visibility. This created another problem, as the lines for moving were long, and caused a number of fans to miss matches as they waited to be situated somewhere else.

A number of the seats that had sight-line obstructed cost well into the hundreds, and were functionally a waste. Many disgruntled patrons took their anger out on the staff that was helping them move, creating an altogether unpleasant situation.
