The doors opened around 1:30 local time, two hours prior to the start time, and moved pretty quickly. The place was not sold out, but had reached 95% capacity at the very least.
The floor security was very strict. To get on the floor, your ticket had to be marked, and you were given a green wristband. And this was double checked at each section as you made your way across. And in order to leave with a chair, your ticket and wristband had to be marked at your seat, with both being checked at the aisle Very strict.
For the dark match, the video walls weren’t activated. Everyone came out together in a near line to the “I Made It” theme. As noted, Yoshi Tatsu won.
The roof consistently opened and closed for the first 3/5ths of the show. It was opened for outdoor shots, fireworks, and to let smoke out, but stayed closed during the other parts, at least until sunset passed, where it opened for the rest of the show.
As for the show, it moved a long quickly, thanks to the short match times. The crowd was split for each main event. The biggest disappointment was the Bret/Vince match, as the crowd, after being into the entrances, was dead, basically waiting for the Sharpshooter.
