Maybe its just the image playing tricks on me, but doesn't that seem like an awfully small arena to have something like the Eliminator [the end of show game to see who goes through to the next round] running? I remember the original filling the majority of the available space in the arena they used at Birmingham, so I wonder if they aren't going to have the Eliminator in this revival?

I do think that if there is a second series, they need a proper 10,000 audience arena, to avoid the situation with the ticketing recurring again. I'm not even sure why they didn't just go back to the OG venue from before, now the Utilita Arena, unless they simply didn't have the venue available when they attempted to book it. It would have made more sense to go back to their roots really.

From memory Powerball seemed to take up a bit more of the floor in the NIA than it seems to here - hard to be sure though as I can't find any shots taken from the same angle in the original series.

The ticketing sounds like a total farce and from what I read online the production company are saying they only learned this morning that they had 3000 capacity, not 10000 and are blaming the arena changing the capacity on them last minute. Apparently there's cancellation emails going out to people who originally had tickets for tomorrow as I type.
