Exclusive: The Locations Of WrestleMania 29 & WrestleMania 30

[Austin 3:16]

After speaking with sources, WZ can confirm that WrestleMania 29 is going to take place at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and Jets football teams.

This will be the first time this venue has held a professional wrestling event. WrestleMania 29 will also beat the NFL to the punch of having a major event there because WrestleMania 29 will take place in late March or early April of 2013 and the NFL is going to hold the Super Bowl there in February of 2014.

This is reportedly a huge success for Vince McMahon as he is wanting to hold the first big event at MetLife stadium and set an attendance record before the Super Bowl takes place there. Sources said McMahon had a big smile on his face for getting WrestleMania 29 at MetLife Stadium.

WrestleMania 29 taking place at MetLife Stadium will also give the New York market a WrestleMania which has some significance because WrestleMania 30 is not going to be held in New York's Madison Sqaure Garden as tradition would have it. WrestleMania 30 is going to take place at the Dallas Cowboys stadium located in Arlington, Texas.

WrestleMania 30 will not be at MSG because WWE wants to stick with only having WrestleMania at stadiums from here on out. Madison Square Garden is expected to continue to get big pay-per-views like it did with Survivor Series this past year.

Looks like WM30 isn't going to be at MSG, I'm hopefully going to WM29 (50/50 on going) and I was hoping it would be one of the places I want to go to in the USA which is New York.

Thoughts?

Not sure how reliable this can be when MetLife stadium has the chance to be extremely cold on a day like this. I don't think WWE would risk their biggest show of the year in a place like that.

I don't know, WrestleZone is usually reliable and people will go to WM if it's in their city, who wouldn't? Sure it will be chilly but the weather always changes. WrestleMania usually sells out anyway and did you see this part:

MetLife Stadium
Capacity: 82,566 - WM can hold more due to the fact a lot of seats goes on the field.


Cowboys Stadium
Capacity: 80,000 (expandable to 111,000 with standing room) - WM will hold more due to the fact a lot of seats goes on the field.

[Darth Shizzel]

Dont know a lot about American stadiums but that is one big fucking stadium.

[Luscious Lou]

I saw that, Hatred but the show could easily get snowed out. That could be the worst thing ever to happen to the WWE. Does the MetLife arena at least have a retractable roof?

[SAIYANS]

29 - all about being the first, just to beat the nfl, but I have to admit that many New Orkers in a place would be must see


30 - nba used it for the all star game and it was packed, and it could mark the retirement of Taker or return of Austin

[The Cork]

Cant imagine why people would want to sit that far back in the nosebleeds.

Fair enough, in a 12k arena its easy enough to see whats happening, but the cheap seats in those two are terrible, it'd be looking at matchstick men.

Cowboys Stadium is awesome though, watched the NBA game and it looked brilliant.

Still think Mania XXX will be at MSG though.

Nah it doesn't.

Vince is going for the record at WM30. He wants to beat the 93k+ set at WM3 and will want to get over 100k for the event. It is a huge milestone and Taker's retirement at that WM would draw a huge number especially if it is against Cena. I like that they keep going for stadiums for WM, it makes the event feel even bigger and even more important when there are 80k people there instead of "just" 20k.
