Wrestlemania venue discussion thread

[Boo!]

Not necessarily this one but a place to discuss our favourite and least favourite WM venues.

I hated WM4/5 at Boardwalk Hall. The place just looks a dump and the atmosphere for both events was horrible. Having it in the same venue twice in a row was awful too. There should be something special and unique about each Wrestlemania.

I didn't like the WM9 stadium either. Sure it looked unique but what the hell was it? I'm familiar with boxing matches they've held there but where did that 'bleachers in a carpark' come from?

Favourites:

WM17. Astrodome. First 'big venue' Wrestlemania there'd been since Wrestlemania 8 back in 1992. It just looked amazing on TV. Really enjoyed Safeco Field too two years later because it looked different than the usual large venue places.

Wrestlemania X-Seven was great, just had the sea of humanity feel down so great.
Worst? I dunno wrestlemania 11 was apparently the smallest.

It might be because I was there live, but I loved this year's Wrestlemania at MetLife Stadium. The whole NYC theme was awesome.

9 was great. 4 and 5 were terrible.

I actually kind of liked Boardwalk Hall. It definitely fit IV with the tournament making it feel like like a gambling sport. V didn't work quite as well there, but I like the contrast of how different Hogan and Savage's relationship was just one year earlier in that same spot. It was the perfect place for the Mega Power to explode. And as a little kid, I used to think the stairs leading tho the ring were awesome.

My favorite venues are always the naturally lit domes and stadiums. I love how the show stars in light and then falls to night for the main events. Wrestlemania III is definitely the best in this regard because it was an afternoon show. Almost every a match but, Hulk and Andre had some twilight. It was perfect.
