Wrestlemania is taking its talents to South Beach

Wrestlemania 28 is going to Miami. How do you feel about this? Anyone planning to go? I know its early, but a trip to Miami for Wrestlemania will be great for both the clubs and wrestling.

I wish it was coming to Indianapolis...Florida just had a Wrestlemania

Where will it be held? Sun Life Stadium? Just asking for trouble to do another outdoor WrestleMania.

tpww front page says the Miami Herald says so... PWInsider says more details to come...but since Sun Life holds 75 thousand, I'd say yeah.

MORE ON WRESTLEMANIA 28, PRESS CONFERENCE SET FOR LATER TODAY
by Mike Johnson @ 12:29 AM on 2/9/2011

World Wrestling Entertainment will officially announce that Wrestlemania 28 will be held at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida, according to The Miami Herald. Miami and Toronto had been the frontrunners in recent weeks, according to WWE sources.

Sun Life Stadium, home to the Miami Dolphins, is expected to house over 75,000 for the event.

I'm clicking, motherfucker.

i guess Edge isnt retiring then

Damn it, I was hoping for The Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri so I could live with BDC for a week. :'(

Oh and The Rock in the HOF guaranteed

I like how for the past several years Toronto has been "rumored" and a "front-runner", but then never actually gets it. Not that it makes a difference to me one way or the other.

<font color=goldenrod>Complete bullshit to have it in the same state 4 years apart when there are loads of other options.

Was hoping for Toronto so that I could go next year and finally check out another country.</font> :(

I wonder if WWE could pull off a multi Venue WM again like 2? Certainly not like Large stadiums of course..

I'd imagine the production costs would just be way too high today because people would expect huge elaborate sets, insane pyrotechnics, etc.

Miami-Dade County has won the bid to host World Wrestling Entertainment’s super bowl WrestleMania 28 in the spring of 2012 at Sun Life Stadium, a week-long event which attracts fans from around the world.
In the three-year process, the area won the bid over other cities under consideration, such as Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York and Toronto.
At a Wednesday press conference in South Florida, officials will detail the weeklong list of activities planned culminating with the WWE WrestleMania 28 pay-per-view at Sun Life Stadium, home to the Miami Dolphins and five NFL Super Bowls. The stadium can seat more than 75,000.
Grammy Award Winner Emilio Estefan and other dignitaries are expected to be present during the press conference, as well as several poiiticians.
It will be the second WrestleMania in Florida and the third outdoors. In 2008, WrestleMania 24 was held at the outdoors Citrus Bowl in Orlando. That event set an attendance record for the stadium with 74,635 fans.
Last year, WrestleMania 26 set a University of Phoenix Stadium indoor attendance record, beating a U2 concert from 2009 by more than 20,000. Mania’s attendance was 72,219 with fans from 50 states and 26 countries - a common occurrence. The show grossed $5.8 million as well, becoming the highest grossing entertainment event ever at the stadium.
WrestleMania 26 also generated $45.1 million in economic impact for the greater Glendale/Phoenix area, according to a study conducted by the Enigma Research Corporation. The study said the show also garnered almost $5 million in local, state and county taxes. The economic impact derived from WrestleMania Week equated to the creation of 510 full-time jobs.
Those kinds of numbers are consistent to the host venue and area as WrestleMania Week is a financial gold mine, which is why many cities in North America bid annually for the extravaganza.
Miami had failed to lure the 2011 spectacular to South Florida, losing out to Atlanta. But WWE officials said the city was still on their radar when selecting the 2012 site because of its international ties, facilities, airports and experience hosting hundreds of other mega events.
Sun Life Stadium, home to the Miami Dolphins and five NFL Super Bowls, can seat more than 75,000; attendance records have been broken for venues servicing WrestleMania, a major international event televised to more than 100 countries.

Miami is tempting place to visit. But I agree they should really move it around abit more - lets have it in Seattle again, that was a great place to visit.

Fuck yeah, Miami. I'm definitely going. Mania 24 outdoors looked incredible, and it's a great location. Love Miami.

I was hoping for Toronto..... at least we'll get to see Rock in the Hall Of Fame.....

Now all we need is Vinnie Mac doing an hour-long special with his buddy Bob Costas about him taking his talents to South Beach.

After New England wasn't included in the discussion the Griffins voice their displeasure only to be trumped by a Miami resident.

You could have titled this thread "Wrestlemania takes it's talents to South Beach..."

BUT YOU DIDN'T

Change the title of this thread to what innovator said.

Damnit. I wasnt thinking. Love the idea of changing the title...does a Mod have to do it?

I hope the Marlins will be home...the Braves are on the road this season at Mania time.

Go to edit post, advanced, then you can change it.

thank you sir, it is done

That's exactly what I'm thinking, too.

There isn't a dome?

Wrestlemania 24 was obviously a great success in a huge market. A pitch for Mania from the City of Miami has to be hard to pass up. I'm over the moon with this decision. 24 looked so spectacular, I promised myself I'd definitely go to the next outdoor Wrestlemania. Add the fact that I love Miami anyway, and is only a drive or a short flight away from Orlando, it's the perfect spot to make a long holiday out of.

The new Marlins stadium will have a dome, but it's happening at the much bigger Sun Life Stadium which has hosted many Super Bowls:

This gets even better. The next 3 years will be incredible. Miami, San Francisco, and (hopefully) MSG. 3 of my favourite cities. Fuck Atlanta, glad I'm not going now.

It's a beautiful place........ but what if it rains??

Evening thunderstorms are pretty rare in early April here. Usually if it's going to rain it'll be about 3-4 in the afternoon then be clear by the evening.

During a "SuperShow" at MSG last June, John Cena was doing a promo and said WM 30 will, in fact, take place there. So I guess that's confirmed.

Come rain or shine! Pretty awesome to be open to the elements. The ring will be covered so other than that, it's no different than it raining at a football game, you just get on with it.

Awesome.

<font color=goldenrod>Wouldn't be a big deal if it rained unless it was windy (causing the rain to hit the ring) or if there was lightning. Imagine if WWE had to postpone its biggest show of the year?

Anyway - tempted to go. Kinda wanted to visit Toronto instead so I could check out Canada, but whatever.</font>
