Arlington Wrestlemania?

I've been saying come to the Bay Area for a long time. Oakland Arena, despite being improved greatly since its renovation, won't host Wrestlemania (though I can't see why they don't do another ppv or even Raw or Smackdown here once in a while), and the Cow Palace is out. But what about the HP Pavilion for a non-stadium WM? Or, outdoors at AT&T Park? Seriously, what are your thoughts on either of those choices?

AT&T park would be the only good place to hold it, however with the unique shape it would be an odd set up. With even more odd seating the Safeco had for Wrestlemania 19. Also, unlike Safeco, AT&T does not have a retractable roof in case it rains.

It would be a good atomsphere but I dont see it happening. There is also no way Oakland will ever get it, Although it would be interesting to see if they sold tickets to the Mt. Davis section and people actually paid money for them.

Also, to the original poster. There are many arenas and stadiums that hold that or close to that many people but it dosent mean they will get a Wrestlemania. I live in Iowa City and Kinnick holds nearly 80k and there is no way they would ever have something like Wrestlemania here.

Well, they always said Wrestlemania III was in Detroit, even though the Silverdome is in Pontiac. And I doubt the A's would become the Fremont A's should the stadium get built there.
