The Orlando Sentinel has an interesting story about how WWE is
transforming the Citrus Bowl stadium into a WWE arena with work already under way. WWE is building a steel roof over the ring in case of rain and to hang the lights and video screens while another steel structure is being built for the entrance area. Steel beams were custom built in Belgium and are being shipped over for the occasion. Since there's no backstage area (the north end of the stadium is open), WWE hired a local company to set up a 40,000 square feet 'mini city' where catering, showers, offices and
everything else will go. These will all be under fully air conditioned tents with floors. Seven generators are in place just in case they blow the power up, although the chances of that happening are remote. According to the
report, there are 100 people working 16 hours a day from now on to make sure everything is done on time for the first rehearsals on March 29th. John Saboor, president of the Central Florida Sports Commission said he's already
talking with WWE to bring WrestleMania back in 2012.
Sounds like its gonna be big.
