wrestlemania Earlier today, we posted the following story:

Lester Bagley, The Vice President of Public Affairs for the Minnesota Vikings, recently spoke about the new $1 billion US Bank Stadium being built for the Vikings.

During the video, which you can watch at this link, Bagley had the following to say:

“Before the building is even open, we have already secured the Super Bowl in 2018, the NCAA basketball Final Four in 2019. We are a finalist and seem to be in a very good position to secure the college football playoffs, the BCS Championship game and you know we’ve got WrestleMania coming.”

WrestleMania 32 has already been announced to be taking place in Dallas, TX this year, so the earliest Minnesota could be hosting the event is in 2017, for WrestleMania 33.

In response to the above, WWE has issued the following statement:

Minneapolis is one of the many cities that has expressed an interest in hosting a future WrestleMania. Beyond WrestleMania in Dallas, TX on April 3, 2016, locations for future WrestleMania’s have not been announced.
