PHOTOS & NOTES FROM RAW AT MANHATTAN CENTER

I am at the Manhattan Center for Raw.  The word here is there will be about three or four live segments from here for Raw 25.  

We are told there will also probably be segments and matches exclusively just for the live crowd, including Cruiserweight bouts as a number of Cruisers were sent here late in the day.

Every seat here is a special take home commemorative chair.

There are a number of video screens set up for fans here to watch the remainder of the show that will take place at the Barclays Center.  One screen is above where the bleachers are set up, which led to WWE selling far less bleacher seats than they had in the past in this venue.  The other is near the entrance and is currently showcasing a neon WWE logo meant to look like the old neon WWF sign from the 1990s.

There are several banners hanging over the balcony, including yes, Icopro!

The referees are dressed in blue shirts with bowties. 

Fans here are chanting "25" and "Icopro."  They are also chanting "Barclays sucks."

Jerry Lawler is dressed in his '90s heel jacket.

At one point for some reason, there was a massive ECW chant.

Here are some photos from inside the venue as well as the Empire State Building having been lit in honor of Raw:
