Wrestlemania III's true attendance?

Описание: For decades there’s been debate over what the correct attendance was for Wrestlemania III at the Pontiac Silverdome on March 29, 1987. The WWF famously announced that night in the ring, and has celebrated ever since, that the attendance was 93,173. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter first reported in its November 14, 1994 issue that Wrestlemania III’s total attendance was about 78,000.
