What if all the tatoos weren't just for show but held some purpose? Could the main location of the gate in L.A. be the arena and that's why they drag humans to the middle of the rink?

Really I tend to lean towards some kind of sinister, Umbrella Corporation style, genetic experimentation, gone wrong type of thing with We're Alive.
This is not a bad idea, if you consider that many of the characters have biblical or heavenly names. Maybe the arena IS a gate where the colored one sacrifices humans. The way of the 21st century zombie has seemed to lean on the virus explanation. the original zombie flicks never determined a source. It'd be nice to see a supernatural explanation again.
