[glow=blue,2,300]Wembley Stadium, London.[/glow] beat me to it. The UK has been a tremendous hot spot for wrestling as long as I can remember. Summerslam 92 was a great success and arguably one of the most memorable Summerslams. They deserve the chance to host a Mania.

Vince only has Wrestkemania at the places where the fans will react most. when the fans react to the show, it makes foe better tv. they ALWAYS perform for the televition audience whenever on tv. look at the trump plaza wrestlemanias. Big place, yeah. but their was little reaction, because they were not wrestling fans looking for a little gambling action, they were gambler that just so happened to want to see a wrestling show.

I think WM 24 should be in the Girardville Elementary School in Girardville, Pennsylvania! There was wrestling there once and it attracted people from 5 miles away! QFT Dude I heard about that! Seriously though bring it to the Metrodome

I don't mean to piss in anyone's corn flakes, but a lot of the mentioned ideas won't work. Michigan Stadium has bleachers, as do most of the college stadiums listed. People won't pay Wrestlemania prices for bleacher seats, and I think the WWE's scouts know that. Hell, if I weren't a student getting tickets for 20 bucks, I wouldn't be getting corralled into Michigan Stadium every Saturday, either. Also, Ohio Stadium wouldn't work because Columbus sucks.
Texas Stadium is hand and hand with the Twins' park. The Cowboys are getting a new stadium for a reason, the facility's outdated.
Podunk little arenas in Sioux Falls, Buffalo, Portland, and the like won't fly. Vince likes to bill Wrestlemania as the flagship, and the flagship won't fly in Oregon. No offense to the cities themselves, but they don't have the same kind of billing as New York, Chicago, or Detroit.
I would love to see Wrestlemania in Wembley, but it may be a little to risky to do with wrestling doing the numbers it does today. It would have been great 8-10 years ago, but I'm not sure the 24% of sales that the international fan base is responsible for is enough.
Having bashed everything, I do like some ideas. Miami is great, Dallas is great (just in another stadium in 2008 or 2009), and I wouldn't mind seeing Vegas again. Safeco was one of my favorite Wrestlemania locations, so that would be cool as well.
John Cena cares about outcasts.
