Indianapolis hasn't hosted Wrestlemania since 1992. There's a new indoor/outdoor stadium, and the entire city has been recently renovated for a Superbowl. Instead of Chicago again, bring it to Indianapolis We haven't hosted a Wrestlemania in almost 11 years. Instead of Florida is more like it. Chicago needs a Wrestlemania, either at Wrigley when the renovation is done, or at Soldier Field. People will come to Chicago to witness Wrestlemania. As much as I agree with you that Chicago needs a Wrestlemania as I'm a Chicagoan, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. Unless soldier field got totally reinnovated and had a roof put over it, they're not going to do it. On top of that soldier field doesn't hold enough for capacity. Wrigley field is even worse in that case. |

I selfishly hope they do Mania closer to the Northeast next year. At least within 12-15 hours driving distance from Cleveland

WWE is limiting itself with potential WrestleMania venues by only holding it in football stadiums. It's just going to jump across the same few states; California, Florida, Texas.

The only correct answers are St. Louis and London.

Wrigley field is even worse in that case. Soldier Field can probably hold around 60k, yet that seems small for WWE standards, Wrigley would just be an amazing sight to be seen. I thought MetLife having 29 gave us a chance with weather not being an issue apparently, but it just seems unless it's a stadium we're out of luck. |

I can see them getting another WM down the line. |

From what I've read both Philly and Minneapolis are the front runners for WM 34. With Minnesota having the Superbowl in 2018, I'd doubt WWE would want to have WM there during the same year.
Way I look at it Philly for WM 34 and Minnesota for WM 35.

For those of us that hope it's in Philly, the final Raw before 33 takes place in Philly so maybe it will have a tie in announcement.

I selfishly hope they do Mania closer to the Northeast next year. At least within 12-15 hours driving distance from Cleveland Cleveland to Orlando is only 16.5 hours. If your hoping for 12-15 I would think another 90mins isnt that far. U could leave Friday morning, drive 8 hours, sleep and the 8 hours on the Saturday. I have done this distance many times for Nba games (travelling from Australia gotta make the most of it). Seems doable to me... no offence bro, but just do it. Gotta stop letting details getting in the way of you doing what u want (unless it's family or Money - but if it just time -  it, and go) I'm travelling from Brisbane Australia to go. 13.5 hours to LA and the 5 hours from LA to Orlando. (That's air time, not to mention all the crapthat comes with inetrnational travel) |

I hope I'm wrong (selfishly because I want another WrestleMania @ MetLife or [false hope on this one] Yankee Stadium) but, even with the heated ring they used 3 years ago, I doubt they'll run Mania at many cold weather cities that don't have domed stadiums unless everything is conveniently connected, Philly being one of those few cities; literally all their sporting venues are within walking distance from each other (2019, perhaps).
Here's my guesses for future WrestleMania host venues, leaving out stadiums they've already held the event in since those are always up to likely host again (so, yes, SkyDom...Rogers Centre is part of the list, too)
- US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis
- Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis
- City of Champions Stadium, Inglewood (L.A.)
- Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta
- Soldier Field, Chicago (likely in 2026; 40th anniversary of their 1st Mania)
