WWE's press release announced the following:
16,896 for Smackdown
17,944 for Backlash.
Brandon Thurston sent a records request to PRCDA so may see the actual numbers in a few weeks for these shows.
For what it's worth and the pictures I saw, Backlash looked completely full and even utilized much of the hard cam section. My number for that would be relatively close to WWE's, around 17,390 (with the caveat that this was different than most maps I work with - and I did the best I could given what I had to work with). Smackdown blocked much of the hard cam section and looked less full in comparison.
