The current Impact Wrestling Zone in Soundstage 19 held approximately 680 fans last night. The area was said to have been a work in progress with some areas not used and stage equipment visible. There were a number of fans that had to be turned away at the gate after being told to wait in a holding area pending the VIP fans get in first.

It is believed that once some of the other props and equipment is finalized, the number of fans that can be held will increase slightly. The area holding the hard camera was not used at all.

There are some in TNA that still have hopes that Universal will either vacate soundstage 21 or another, larger soundstage so TNA can eventually move into a larger venue for tapings.

Forum member Jim Uni posted a panoramic picture of last night's set:

I thought it looked way better than the old Zone. The set up was good for camera work.

They had a good crowd.

Yeah, they did a good in job in making it look like arena size. Hopefully it'll be configured to get all three sides with people around it though.

Do they have the space for it, though?

There are two sides of the ring without anyone there. They have some room to play with at least.

well Nate go next taping and give us first hand perspective.

Good idea.

At least they are doing more iMpacts back in Orlando, now if they would bring back the 6 sided ring, Hogan and Bitchoff are gone, I think Bitchoff is gone...
