I know WWE loves a stadium for WM, but much like they took a stadium break for WM20, should the 'E return WM to it's birthday when it turns the big 30?
Or should they keep the stadium craze strong and attempt to book the Yankee's new stadium?

I don't think Yankee Stadium would be that desirable in March/April. Too cold.
No one outside of the North East US gives a crap about MSG really. I would rather see another big spectacular stadium show. There's so much more they can do. Come to the new Cowboys Stadium. Now that place is built for something like Wrestlemania!

Of course. One 'Mania every 10 years isn't gonna hurt anyone.

Yes if the renovations are done by then. I saw some of the plans for what MSG will have and one of the cool things will be standing room only area in the rafters looking down. Bow it might be the worst seat in the house for WM, but it would be different.

Yes. It just feels right that WrestleMania "comes home" every tenth year.

No, they'd get a bigger gate from Jerry World or U of Phoenix, Skydome, Safeco, The Rose Bowl ect.

Absolutely not.
After all those years of stadium shows, MSG would be such a comedown for WWE. And I hate when they use that little entranceway and the wrestlers come from the top of the screen. It's different, sure, but this is WRESTLEMANIA. If WWE refers to it as "the grandest stage of them all" then I think the entrance set should reflect that.
Earlier this year WWE published a special WrestleMania magazine and they had an interview with set designer Jason Robinson. When asked if there were any 'Manias that didn't live up to his expectations, Robinson picked ... WrestleMania XX! I think that should tell WWE something.
Not to mention the millions of dollars the company would miss out on by running its biggest show of the year at that little s***box of an arena.
The only upside of having the show at MSG is that I would get to go. (I have relatives in New York.)

It's the last bit of tradition left, and at the house show in June, Cena said he'd see us all at WM 30 in MSG.

The crowd is always on fire when Wrestlemania comes to town. That little "s***box" of an arena just happens to be the World's Most Famous Arena for a reason with some of the world's smartest, albeit somewhat obnoxious wrestling fans. If the WWE doesn't wanna worry about money, put out a better product. MSG has had some of the most memorable Wrestling moments in history. One show every 10 years isn't going to cause the WWE to go bankrupt.

You know where I think would make a great PPV venue? Miller Park in Milwaukee. Maybe it doesn't have as high of a seating capacity a football stadium does, but I think it would have a great look and have a great atmosphere. It's still way bigger than your typical multi-purpose arena. With close proximity to Chicago, it should have no problem selling out as long as the card is hyped right. If not Wrestlemania, they should hold one of their secondary PPVs there. Like Summerslam. I think it would be great. Put the ring in the infield, and have the entrance stage out in centerfield. It would look great. Fans would be tailgating outside all day and be nice and drunk by the time the show starts too.

One show every 10 years isn't going to cause the WWE to go bankrupt. Again, there's a lot of fans out there (who aren't from the Northeastern U.S.) who couldn't give two craps about the "tradition" MSG holds. We only care about what it looks like on TV, and in today's world MSG just doesn't hold up compared to the other arenas out there. Plus, every time they hold an important show there instead of some other city, the rest of us just feel kind of left out. Like, why do New Yorkers always get to have all the fun?
