In today’s Miami Herald, Jim Varsallone reported that Toronto, Canada, Manchester, England and Tampa, FL are the three candidates to host SummerSlam in August. He went on to say that Tropicana Field, which seats well over 40,000 people and is the home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays baseball team, would be available on August 15 and 29, but not August 22 because the Rays have a home game that day. I can add that SummerSlam is scheduled for August 15, so if Varsallone is correct about WWE wanting to run at Tropicana Field, which would be a pretty ambitious venue for a non-Mania event in the current market, it would be available that day. It could also be that they are looking at running at the St. Pete Times Forum, a.k.a. The Ice Palace, where the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team play.
*creams pants at potential prospect of SummerSlam being held in England.*
If it was at Old Trafford as well..........
(I know it probably won't happen but even so)
