The planning is on for next April's WWE WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, Texas.

According to Dave Meltzer in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has been in contact with AT&T Stadium officials with several ideas on how to approach the weekend in addition to Friday's SmackDown and Monday's Raw.

As of now, just one date has been announced: Sunday, April 3rd. However, doing two days of WrestleMania is under consideration. Right now, they are "looking into planning, security, insurance, cost of production, length of the event (two days vs. one day) and other locations for shows that weekend," he wrote.

One idea was having both the Sunday WrestleMania and Monday's Raw at AT&T with a 40,000-seat setup.

Complicating matters, they cannot run the go-home SmackDown at the American Airlines Center as it's booked for a Dallas Mavericks NBA game. Meltzer said that SmackDown could be pre-taped, but they may not want to do that this year with Fox.
Meltzer said the 32,000-seat Gerald Ford Stadium, located on the campus of Southern Methodist University, is also under consideration for both SmackDown and Raw because of the amount of fans they expect to be in town for the weekend.

It absolutely has to be 2 nights from here on out after how well they flowed previously.

Eh... I don't really care...

I would like to see, if they go 2 days, that they go into a smaller venue for the Saturday show though. As grand as the stadium PPVs feel, they actually fall flat more often than not.

Gotta completely disagree on the stadiums but I am kind of a mark for the production aspect so I really enjoy seeing how they layout the stadiums and all the pyro and the big ass stages they construct.

Sell less tickets for a Mania?

I like the current format that they have for WM. 2 night event. It cuts off the long 6 hours into 3 hours of watching. That way no one gets bored and falls sleep due to long cards. But I would have it differently in my way. I would have the Raw matches go on for Night 1 and SD gets the other night. Just keep it the way it is currently.

When it be something if they held WrestleMania from two different locations

They did one of them from 3 already back in the day. I wanna say WrestleMania 2.
