WWE Royal Rumble takes place on January 31, 2021 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Jon Alba reported on his Living The Gimmick podcast that WWE won’t have fans in attendance at this show despite the company hoping to do so.
Just dropped on @theLTGpodcast:
Multiple sources indicate there are currently no plans for #WWE to have fans at the Royal Rumble.

The Super Bowl in Tampa will have limited-capacity at the outdoor Raymond James Stadium, while AEW runs limited-capacity at its outdoor Daily's Place venue.
The ThunderDome, as #WWE has said, is a closed set, and remains that way for now.

As I've noted, it's pro wrestling, plans are always subject to change. But the plan as of now, Jan. 7, does not include fans in attendance at Tropicana Field.
FWIW, Florida had 17,783 new positive COVID cases announced Wednesday. #WWE #RoyalRumble

I don't think a small number of fans should ever be ruled out given what we've seen at the CWC, but as of this moment, that is not in the cards. And like you said, the set configuration could prove difficult.
