If there's gonna be a new stadium in LA, then you can bet your ass that WrestleMania will be there. Though, they should just have one in the LA Coliseum. Make up for the move at WrestleMania VII.

Would be nice, and tons of European fans would love to visit that one (myself incl), but will never happen because of timezones, travel costs (special equipment, celebs...) etc Another Takeover in UK would be fantastic We are a long way from Mania being in the UK, but I don't see why they wouldn't experiment with running something like Summerslam or Survivor Series in the UK to see if it's a viable concept. Its not a viable concept at all.

Mania in ATL would be a dream for me right now. I can drive down and then just drive home and sleep in my own bed.

I just hope it's anywhere outside of Florida, New Orleans, The Bay Area, Texas, or anywhere they've held it since 24. I'd love to see it in MSG again. Unless MSG can magically expand to hold 60,000+, that's not happening. I think we can all agree that WrestleMania has far exceeded what a standard hockey arena can hold. Even after WWE's biggest show of the year went stadium-exclusive, I remember how some folks on this very forum were SO SURE that WWE would make an exception for WM 30. Yeah, what happened with that? I would love to see 'Mania back in Atlanta. I've been to four WrestleManias and Atlanta was the easiest to navigate in terms of the venues WWE used for the weekend. The Georgia Dome, Phillips Arena, and World Congress Center (Axxess) were all roughly in the same area, and an easy one-mile walk from my hotel. Plus, Atlanta has lots of directional signage!

I'd love Columbus since it's so close to me, but the weather is way too unpredictable in Ohio and there are no domes around.

Very grateful to go to MetLife for WM29, as it was the last WM in the NE/mid-Atlantic since XX. Don't think they're willing for Philly since they have the Royal Rumble again and Barclay's for SummerSlam seems to be going well. Toronto would be a stretch dealing with customs/tariffs, but they've pulled it off twice before. Logistically, I think Baltimore/DC area would be nice to host one finally. Realistically, I see Atlanta and Minneapolis (probably prefer Chicago, but this has more seats) as great sites....maybe Las Vegas if they get the stadium thing moving forward. While 29 wasn't the best show, it was my first live WM, and that weekend experience was one of the most fun of my life

Indianapolis needs it.
We got a decent venue, plenty of local amenities in the downtown area, and experience with massive events that require lodging and other services (a non sports example is the annual FFA convention).
Plus, you could easily get Midwestern fans around easily.

This is pretty much the main factor. WWE pointed out that it's not just a matter of having a fancy stadium; there's a long list of accommodations. They need locations for Takeover, the HoF, Axxess and all those other extra curricular activities that happen during Wrestlemania week. On top of that, you need to take into account Mother Nature if they want outdoor Wrestlemanias. The Bay Area timezone affected the lighting situation, and New York/New Jersey required ring posts with heaters.

Call Kevin Nash. He'll draw that many, that night. Real reason: MSG will probably charge the living hell out of the WWE.

Yup. 35 or 36 will be here guaranteed. It's the new Rams/Chargers stadium in Inglewood. It opens for the 2018 NFL Season and you can bet your ass the WWE is going to try and get Wrestlemania as soon as possible in that building to beat out the Super Bowl and College Football Playoffs, which are probably going to each be there several times in the first years of the 2020s. Plus, they probably want to get out of the Southeast. They've basically only been in SEC country for the last decade.

The Bay Area timezone affected the lighting situation, and New York/New Jersey required ring posts with heaters. Bankers Life or Indiana Farmers Coliseum can host Takeover. The Convention Center can easily hold Axxess. The old Murat could have the Hall of Fame ceremony. And with nearly 120 hotels in just a 10 mile radius, that helps with lodging. It's intangibles that will help with the event being easier to handle for maximum revenue.

Very grateful to go to MetLife for WM29, as it was the last WM in the NE/mid-Atlantic since XX. Don't think they're willing for Philly since they have the Royal Rumble again and Barclay's for SummerSlam seems to be going well. Toronto would be a stretch dealing with customs/tariffs, but they've pulled it off twice before. Logistically, I think Baltimore/DC area would be nice to host one finally. Realistically, I see Atlanta and Minneapolis (probably prefer Chicago, but this has more seats) as great sites....maybe Las Vegas if they get the stadium thing moving forward. Unfortunately, Chicago will probably never see Mania again (unless the business goes down to where they do arenas again). Once again, the city renovating Soldier Field instead of building a retractable roof monster screws the people.

I'm between Milwaukee (closest thing Chicago will get to hosting another is to link up with their neighbor 90 minutes north) and Indianapolis. Pick one, my brother and I will be there. I'll even go to Detroit. Milwaukee would be great for a Summerslam. Retractable roof and dual-market with Chicago. Plus many in the Brewers front office are WWE fans. Just make sure they are on a long 2 week road trip and it wouldn't be that tough.

I just thought they went back to MSG for XX for tradtion's sake, then go back to the two other major cities in LA and Chicago. So a geographic thing and not a business thing.

I want a MN Wrestlemania so bad but it doesn't look like it's happening until 2020 if at all :/ Correct. Typically with the NCAA Final Four they book it out completely over that time which would take away 2019 as a possibility for Minneapolis. Which really sucks, I want to see it in Minneapolis as well.
