Not sure on the stadium selection, still seems weird to me that WM is being held at a stadium with bleacher seating in the upper bowls. I think they could have sold out in Miami or Tampa -- My guess is Orlando pulled out all the stops to Woooooo WWE over. Camping World Stadium (like the Alamodome that hosted this year's Royal Rumble) is not really used for very much and (also like the Alamodome) has undergone expensive renovations in recent years. Outside of "Orlando City SC" playing there until their own stadium is complete not much happens at Camping World Stadium, so the city of Orlando likely bent-over backwards to win the E over when they bid on WM.

Also WWE wants WrestleMania to have a vacation destination in mind. What says vacation destination for a family than Orlando?
That's the reason nobody thought Minnesota had a chance. Brrr it's cold. Fuck the Vikings.
Bigger Stadium? Been there done that (and I got the t-shirt)
