Public officials from Orange County, Florida are looking to bring WrestleMania to Orlando for a third time.
ClickOrlando.com reports that the a vote is scheduled for Tuesday that would earmark $1 million in spending to bring WrestleMania back to Orlando in 2023 or 2025. There will also be a vote to spend another $2 million to host the Special Olympic Games in 2022.
Last year’s WrestleMania 33 from Orlando brought approximately $150 million to the local economy. WWE has a strong relationship with the city of Orlando, which plays home to the company’s world-class talent development Performance Center.
Orlando is not the only city hoping to secure WrestleMania in 2023 and 2025. Less than a week ago, Tampa Bay Sports Commission Executive Director Rob Higgins announced his city would be submitting a bid to bring WrestleMania to Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium in 2023, ’24 or ’25.
Cities competing for the right the host WrestleMania is nothing new, but it’s interesting to see negotiations are underway for an event that’s won’t be taking place for another 7 years.
