WrestleMania 30 location confirmed?

[Xero]

From PWInsider:

WWE CHAMPION SAYS WRESTLEMANIA 30 WILL TAKE PLACE AT...

...Madison Square Garden in New York City.

During a show closing promo at the end of the WWE Supershow in the Garden, John Cena thanked everyone for their support, put over NYC and said he looked forward to everyone coming back when Wrestlemania 30 returns to the Garden.

Now, while it was expected that PPV would take place at MSG (Manias 1, 10 and 20 did), this always could have been something said to pop the house. Still, it's noteworthy.

[Xero]

Awesome if true.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I dunno. Wrestlemania feels a lot bigger than MSG now, but I could be completely delusional.

[Xero]

My theme would sound awesome played in Madison Square Garden.

[Lock Jaw]

To be expected.


If they even make it to a Wrestlemania 30! :shifty:

[James Steele]

I know, right? I can't wait for Dixie to shove it in Vince's face and hold Slammiversary XII at MSG. ROFL

[DarKCentaur]

If true, I'm there.

[DAMN iNATOR]

10 and 20 were there, I'm slightly disappointed if it turns out to be true as it would be another 10-year mark in good-ol' NYC. Seems like they'd want to branch out a bit though, maybe hit some states they've never been to for Mania.

[Triple Naitch]

They're doing some major renovations at MSG, which should coincide with 'Mania 30 once it's completed.

[James Steele]

I wonder what WWE will do with the whole "WrestleMania XXX" theme.

Time to play the hardcore game

(cue laughter)...

:shifty:

[James Steele]

Actually, they will follow the XXX theme by the PG protocol...WRESTLEMANIA XXX: WHERE IT ALL BEGINS...STRAIGHT EDGE!

[Rammsteinmad]

Madison Square Garden?!?!?! Didn't see that coming...

Seriously though, obviously MSG is kinda considered the home of Wrestlemania, but I love watching these WM's in huge stadiums filled right up with like 90'000 people, MSG will kinda lower it back to what? 20'000 at the most?

That is pretty awesome pic and comment, plus it's interesting that WM XXX is happening in the PG era. Hopefully that'll be the start of the next WWE phase.

I can't wait for WrestleMania to come to Cowboys Stadium in Dallas and a legit potential crowd of 100,000+. It can hold 100,000 for a football game, and Wikipedia says its expandable to 111,000 with standing room.

<table class="infobox vcard" style="width: 22em; text-align: left; font-size: 88%; line-height: 1.5em;" cellspacing="5"><tbody><tr class=""><th style="text-align: left;">Capacity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seating_capacity)</th> <td class="" style="">Football: 80,000 (expandable to 111,000 with standing room)<sup id="cite_ref-capacity_5-0" class="reference">[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboys_Stadium#cite_note-capacity-5)</sup></td> </tr> <tr class=""> <th style="text-align: left;">Record attendance</th> <td class="" style="">Football: 105,121
September 21, 2009
Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants
Basketball: 108,713
February 14, 2010
NBA All-Star Game</td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan="2" class="" style="text-align: center;">Tenants</th></tr></tbody></table>Would that be a record? I can't see them not selling it out. WrestleMania has become a mega-event like the SuperBowl. I don't think Vince would have the same worries he did for WrestleMania VII in 91....unless there are terrorist threats against Cena. :shifty:

[jskinnyg]

BadAss if true for sure!

[Rammsteinmad]

If a Wrestlemania could fill up a stadium with over 100,000 people :drool:

That'd look fucking sweet!

Not just any stadium, the son of a bitch as jumbotrons almost as big as the football field.

...AND ITS ONLY A 3 1/2 HOUR DRIVE!!!

[Rammsteinmad]

Holy fucking shit! I'm sold!

I'll book a Wrestlemania here one day if I have to.

[J.Blinky]

the thing is. WWE might not have enough star power for a WM to fill out 100000+ with just Cena and Orton. I mean if 28 gets Miami then 29 gets Toronto and 30 gets MSG. Taker, Edge, HHH & Jericho (maybe) could be gone. How can Cena/Orton fill up 100000+? Unless Rock returns for a match against Cena, Austin returns for one against Orton, Shawn returns for one-more (unlikely) they can't fill up 100000. They struggled filling up 70000 this year.

Well, I'd assume WWE will have new stars and draws within 6 years. Hell, they filled up Reliant Stadium with HHH/Orton and Cena/Edge/Big Show. Of course, this could all be moot and Bound For Glory X will sell-out Cowboys Stadium.

[tjmidnight420]

Bound For Glory X will sell-out Cowboys Stadium.

Priceless.

Wrestlemania doesn't really rely on star power. It's WRESTLEFRIGGIN'MANIA!!!

[Aguakate]

...it's not like WrestleMania 30 should've been somewhere else, I mean...it HAS to be at MSG...

...WM 1, 10 and 20 all were there, so...GREAT SUCCESS...

...can't wait for the show to be titled "Where it all begins...AGAIN".

[Xero]

If they only put a fucking dome on either the new Yankees Stadium, Citi Field or the new Giants Stadium.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Screw the dome. I want to see a rain-affected MITB. Slippy ladders.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I definitely have to go to a WM one day. WM30 would be great because it's within driving distance for me, don't have to spend fuckloads on travel, hotel, etc.</font>

[Xero]

Rain? Mania falls right as snow storm season ends. It could fucking SNOW.

Which is a huge advantage for Sheamus.

yep they have it there every 10 years so i bet 30 will be there and probly 40

[Xero]

Just wondering how much seats are going to be to offset the loss of all the other seats. When I went to 20 it was $75 for the absolute cheapest. Ten years later and we're probably looking at $200 for the cheapest.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Some of you are insane apparently. Madison Square Garden is the greatest venue and the greatest crowd in wrestling history. Who gives a shit if only holds 20,000? They had 70,000 this year and the crowd sucked. For all I care they can hold every major PPV at MSG.

they need to do like starcade 85 did an have it in 2 locals msg an somewhere like alanta or canada.

[Xero]

Yeah, no. They did that for Mania 2 and it was ridiculous. I wouldn't want to see that again.

[Poit]

"You can't see me fella!"

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I actually giggled at a Sheamus joke. I feel so dirty. Thanks a lot Poit.

[Jordan]

I can be at MSG in about 15 minutes so that would be great for me.

[The Show Off]

If it's at MSG it's be nice to hear a loud crowd for once at Wrestlemania. The last time the crowd popped for something more than just the opening pyro at a Wrestlemania was at 22.
