WWE seems to have made it an ongoing policy to hold WrestleMania in open-top stadiums going forward. It's likely that 'Mania XXX at the Superdome will be the last time the immortals are showcased under a full dome for quite a while. The company's increasingly ambitious attendance goals are simply another way of putting its best face forward for the financial backers and shareholders, so they need to swing for the fences when it comes to the sheer scale of the show. The higher WWE aims, the more creative they're likely to be at putting the necessary butts in seats. Discounted admission is one example. When you advertise a gate of 100,000 people, you don't have to point out that half of those paid twenty dollars to be in the nosebleed section. Hell, some of them won't have paid at all. The larger the venue, the better the odds that people will pay two the price of two happy meals to join the party-style crowd even if it means watching the whole thing via the Titantron. Meanwhile, packing a stadium in this manner gives WWE probably their most important commodity nowadays: commercial credibility.
