The big change seems to be that there's no more stage--Contestants' Row is now level with the set, which is similar to most foreign versions of the show. If that means that we'll get more people running up to Drew immediately when called, we'll see.
And the new studio (which is actually divided in half--"Let's Make a Deal"'s set is on the other end) will seat about 100 less than Studio 33. That means something because pre-pandemic, they were doing a lot of paid seatholders because outside of tourist season they don't draw full houses every taping like they did in the Barker days.
