WrestleMania Wrestlemania 30 Will Be On Madison Square Garden?

[seabs]

Does anyone have any reports saying it won't be there? Too lazy to google.

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.

Damn ^^

F*ck, I was looking forward to be in the most popular arena of all time.

Oh well, if they are looking for a big stadium, host it at Pontiac Silverdome. It was their largest with the most crowd.

I'd definitely go there.

*Keeps fingers crossed for Allstate Arena WM 30*

I agree. If they can't get the Cowboys with their 100,000 capacity, the Silverdome would be a great choice. WM III and WM XXX there... sounds good.

Yah, I live 10 minutes away from there so it'll be awesome. tunga:

As long as it's not outside again.

Seriously. There are plenty of places with a retractable roof/dome that they can use if they really need to do it in a stadium instead of an arena.

It kills the atmosphere from a fan perspective though. 18-20k seat arenas will always provide a better atmosphere than an oversized 60-70k seat stadium. Obviously it's all about dolla dolla bills though

Totally agreed, just goes to show how WM 28 was partly silent because of the outdoors.

Wembley Stadium with the roof closed (when TNA was there) was amazing. Why Wrestlemania refuses to go there sort of baffles me. It has 80k seats, one of the best stadiums in world football.

You either have to A.) Have the show start at 1 or 2 AM local time or B.) Fuck up the PPV time for North American fans

Don't lecture me like I don't know that. I just don't see a problem with UK fans going there at 2am because we would. It's WM. Our crowds would destroy any previous WM crowd.
