Report: WWE Believed To Be Changing Venues Once Tampa Bay Rays Season Begins

Since December 11, WWE has taken residency at Tropicana Field for its ThunderDome. Tropicana Field is home to the Tampa Bay Rays, who will begin their regular season at home on April 9. 

Ahead of the Rays returning to Tropicana, WWE is expected to move venues elsewhere. 

According to Jon Alba of Spectrum Sports 360, WWE is expected to set up shop at the Yuengling Center on the campus of the University of South Florida. It is unknown when the company will move the Yuengling Center or how long they will occupy residency. It is also unknown if WWE will maintain the ThunderDome set-up or if the venue will be open to fans. 

Alba went on to report multiple people said “travel is booked through Tampa going forward for the immediate future.”

Ringside News first reported WWE potentially moving to the Yuengling Center (formerly the Sun Dome). 

WWE has not officially confirmed plans for moving the ThunderDome outside of Tropicana Field. The company will hold its two-night WrestleMania 37 event at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL. 

Fightful will continue to monitor the situation and report as more information is known.
