Minnesota Plans On Bidding For WWE WrestleMania, But Isn’t The Front Runner As Of Yet
Rumors are flying that Minneapolis is a finalist for WWE WrestleMania in 2025.
Pat Kessler of CBS Minneapolis reported this afternoon that Minneapolis was a finalist to land WrestleMania, but we’re told that there’s nothing imminent regarding an announcement of where that year’s Mania will be.
Instead, we’re told that Minneapolis has been interested in making a bid, and had reps sent to SoFi Stadium to check out how WrestleMania came across and was run. However, this is fairly common, and Minneapolis was one of many cities in the running.
WWE has said that they view U.S. Bank Stadium as a world class venue, and have heard that they’re getting more aggressive in getting non-Vikings related events in the huge stadium.
Interestingly enough, reps from Minneapolis in 2018 leaked that WrestleMania in 2020 or 2021 would be there, and it didn’t end up happening.
