WWE will be announcing the location for next year’s big WrestleMania XXX event later this month. As we’ve been reporting, the event is expected to take place from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, which just hosted the NFL Super Bowl last weekend.
The venue has not been confirmed by WWE yet, but several fans have sent in word that local radio stations in New Orleans are already talking about it.
BenzInsider.com has has published an article looking at the possibility of New Orleans hosting WrestleMania in 2014, noting that one of the big considerations for WWE management is a tax credit that has been offered by the city. This tax credit is also the reason WWE Studios films a lot of their movies from the city.
There has been some internal debate in WWE whether to promote the show as “WrestleMania 30” or “WrestleMania XXX.” Despite the connotations that “XXX” carries, it appears WWE will be reverting back to roman numerals for the 30th WrestleMania.
