Attending a NFC Championship game (maybe two) and aWrestlemania in a span of fifteen months isn't too shabby. | CajunMan

Eventually, but I couldn't see them going to Texas twice in a row. Maybe for #30. | bradbice

No way man, the 10's always have to be at MSG.

| #8 Posted on 25.2.09 1931.09 | Instant Rating: 2.15 | I work for the University of Phoenix and it kinda pisses me off they waste money on this stadium when the instructors are only contract employees. Then they spend money on the guidance counselors who have no clue what goes on in a classroom and push students through the course regardless if they know the material. Of course, you never heard that from me.
As for the event itself, it should be interesting since Cena/Batista will hopefully come to pass. | John Orquiola

It's also way too early for me to consider attending 26 as I did 24 and will 25. I can't say I want to go to Phoenix, hot weather withstanding. | emma

Early April, it'll max out in the lower 90s during the day, & be lovely after the sun goes down -- no humidity. The stadium has a retractable roof, so can be closed if it's unpleasant. But, y'know, whatever ... | John Orquiola

Sorry, I didn't mean to disparage Phoenix. But from my launching point in Boston, across the country seems like a long way to travel for WrestleMania to me. Then again, I may be on the west coast by that time next year anyway. In that case, save a seat in that stadium for me! | redsoxnation

No way man, the 10's always have to be at MSG.
80,000 additional people (plus whatever side deal Jerry Jones makes to get the 100,000 plus to attend and spend on the concessions that the Cowboys and Yankees control) vs. nostalgia at a 20,000 seat arena. Now, smaller arena probably means more PPV buys due to less people being able to access the building, but, what impact does that have on the ancillary activities for WM weekend? Also, if they wanted it to be based solely on sentiment, it should be the 1's at MSG. And, what generation of McMahon's is making the call in the 2 years leading up to that event? | CajunMan

| #13 Posted on 26.2.09 2153.29 | Instant Rating: 0.68 | As for N.O. ever hosting a WM, N.O. Arena too small and the Superdome way to big. If you have ever been on the upperdeck of the dome for a football game you would understand. Also the lockerooms are on the otherside from the loading dock which is a hike if you do not have a golf cart. I believe J.R. once wrote this in one of his blogs.
As for Arizona getting WM 26, It would seem like a simple process as all they would have to do is roll the stage and ring in like they do for the field. | Big Bad

The Dallas Wrestlemania could just take place at WM29. It doesn't have to be a round number or anything...and I agree that the Tens should all take place at MSG, for history's sake. I'm just hoping we get WM28 in Toronto so I can finally attend one.
Kirk, crackers are a family food. Happy families. Maybe single people eat crackers, we don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know. It's a market we can do without. | JustinShapiro

By WM26, they'll either be ALL BLOWN UP from the HDNet show and can pull a bigger crowd....or they'll be out of business and it'll be a moot point. Or something entirely different!
