Pods are separated where no group is within six feet of each other.
Seats you can't sit in are locked down with tight rubber bands. #AEWDynamite pic.twitter.com/Lj0LnFbHHO

Already answered concessions. Bathrooms only allowed a few at a time. So embarrassing taking photos in a bathroom just so some of y'all will STFU about how reckless it was. Felt very safe. https://t.co/SEdBvAuA3h pic.twitter.com/ABTKghA0lT

They're kicking fans out. Security says they're about to film #AEWDark but it's not open to ticketed fans – just friends/family/sponsors. #AEWDynamite pic.twitter.com/RDvemaxVWo
