I think there is one thing they will not be able to fully replicate in Manchester, the audience and all their electronic devices.

This is just my $.02 and based on comments of others and observation.

Which matches have the most attendees? The World Finals on Einstein. Those are followed closely by the eliminations on each field.
My understanding is that each field also experienced problems as they moved into the eliminations.

More people = More devices = More potential for interference.

I'm not saying this is the root cause, but it really needs to be considered if they want to completely replicate the experience on Einstein.
