In an interview with CBS New York, ROH General Manager Greg Gilleland explained how there will be enough fans in the New York area for NXT Takeover and G1 Supercard to fill both shows. 

"I definitely don’t think there’s a concern of there not being enough fans. They can hold 16,000 to 18,000, and we can hold 16,000 to 18,000. And there’s an estimated 80,000 fans in the area that are gonna be looking for something to do on that Saturday night. So, I don’t think there’s a [a concern with] number of fans," said Gilleland

In the rest of the interview, there was also discussion on the possibility that the G1 Supercard will not feature Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks
