WM 27 news

The following is the first ever rumour regarding the location of WrestleMania 27. Keep in mind these locations are only rumours but previous estimates have been correct.

The Tampa Tribune reports today that Tampa, Florida has been invited to bid on holding a future WrestleMania event sometime between 2011 and 2014. The Tampa Bay and Co. is preparing bids for both WrestleMania and the soccer World Cup.

WrestleMania was held in Orlando, FL last year and officials from that city are pushing for a return in the future. WrestleMania 26 will be held in Glendale, Arizona next year and while this hasn't been confirmed, Las Vegas, NV and Indianapolis, IN are being considered for WrestleMania 27.

Confirmed: WrestleMania 26 is coming to Arizona

The press conference WWE held yesterday to announce WrestleMania 26 in Phoenix, AZ is getting a lot of local media coverage in the area. Vince McMahon, John Cena, Chris Jericho, Kofi Kingston, Kelly Kelly and Melina all appeared at the conference with officials from the city of Glendale, AZ, the Arizona Cardinals and Elaine Scruggs, the Glendale Mayor, who noted that WrestleMania would be a much needed $30-50 million put into the local economy. Vince McMahon put over the state of Arizona, saying it was a very special place and that it should be "quite the honeymoon and quite the marriage. Arizona and WrestleMania."

Here's the official press release confirming all the dreams of those living in Arizona:

Stamford, CT, February 24, 2009 -- The City of Glendale, Ariz., Global Spectrum and World Wrestling Entertainment® announced that the University of Phoenix Stadium will host WrestleMania XXVI on Sunday, March 28, 2010.

Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs, Arizona Cardinals’ Coach Ken Whisenhunt and University of Phoenix Stadium General Manager Peter Sullivan joined WWE® Chairman Vince McMahon and several WWE Superstars and Divas in making the announcement today at a press conference at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

WWE’s annual pop-culture extravaganza is a coveted event for any major city. The pay-per-view event will be televised to more than 100 countries. WrestleMania XXIV pumped $50 million into the local Orlando economy in 2008 and set the Citrus Bowl attendance record with 74,635 fans from all 50 states, five Canadian provinces and 21 countries.

This year’s 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania will take place in Houston’s Reliant Stadium on April 5th where it is expected to set the stadium attendance record.

Visitors from around the world are expected to travel to Arizona and participate in a week’s worth of activities that will culminate with WrestleMania XXVI. Among the activities will be WrestleMania Axxess, WWE Hall of Fame, WrestleManiArt™ exhibition, Monday Night Raw®, and WrestleMania “Rocks the Block” street party. The University of Phoenix stadium was chosen after a year long bid process. This marks the first time the Glendale/Phoenix area has hosted WrestleMania.
