Are these photos real?

Okay I know TNA doesn't get huge crowds but this seems awfully empty even for them. It's hard to believe that was the actual attendance and not faked by some prankster. If that really is all the people that showed up for Bound For Glory

[Twister]

Um wow, that's.. disappointing.

[UTK]

That's only slightly more than an ROH show.

It's like an NXT show.

It was probably just on one side of the arena, because that did not come across at all on the show. But it's still a pretty sad sight to see. Can't say it isn't deserved with how badly they built up to Bound For Glory though.

[prophet]

I've read that they moved everyone over to one side to make it seem on camera like a full house. Sad sight to see especially at TNA's Wrestlemania.

[Hanley!]

To be honest, both Lockdown and Slammiversary seemed like much bigger shows this year. I don't think TNA has an equivalent of Wrestlemania really, as much as they try to. Wrestlemania is by far WWE's biggest show, all of TNA's pay per views are pretty equal in popularity.

This makes me regret not going.

[rawisjericho]

Damn, there's more people at the high school football games in my town, no kidding.

[Settee]

I've seen more people at a Prince Albert Raider game (our towns WHL team, which sucks btw).

TNA does that a lot, they always set up their cameras so they only get the one half of the arena besides the in ring shots, but those show at most half of the floor seats so you never see the stands.
In all honesty though, you can't really expect TNA to fill a 40k+ stadium even on a good night

40,000 is one thing, it barely looks like they might have 2,000 in attendance there. Now some of that may be photos designed to be an exaggeration, but if those photos are real I'd be shocked if 10,000 people were in attendance, let alone more.

All I am saying is that those photos look like they are concentrated on one section of seating. If they did move everyone over to one half of the stadium or even just emptied that one section to make the other %70 of the stadium to appear fuller then that would make sense.
Plus, I didn't zoom in of the photo details but these could also be photos of the stadium right as admission was permitted prior to the show

i've been to a house show and it seemed like there was more people there than at bound for glory.
