This one is specific to last night's Raw after WrestleMania, but good lord: navigating the Barclays Center's upper tier of seating is a harrowing experience.
Though the rest of the building is fine, the top level is steep, narrow, and dark. Looking down it while standing up is enough to induce vertigo. Getting down its stairs at the end of the night is a perilous balancing act, as one simple nudge in your back could send you tumbling, and squeezing past your fellow fans to get to your seat or head out to the concourse is even worse. The people you're trying to get past have nowhere to go and there's no real floor space. This means the margin for error is tiny, and it's borderline miraculous that more fans don't go falling down the upper level.
The flipside of this is that the steep slopes make for an awesome view of the ring. Still, those with a poor head for heights should sit elsewhere.
