WWE today announced that the 2024 Royal Rumble will be held
at the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida on
Saturday, January 27. Tampa’s Amalie Arena will also host
the Raw with the Rumble fallout on Monday, January 29.
This is the second time that the Rumble will be held at
Tropicana Field as the pandemic version of the show was also
held there without fans when the WWE ThunderDome was located
inside Tropicana Field.
“Tampa Bay has long been a terrific market for WWE,” said
WWE Executive Vice President of Live Events John Porco.
“Thanks to our partners at the Tampa Bay Rays, Visit St.
Pete/Clearwater and the Tampa Bay Sports Commission, we look
forward to a fantastic schedule of events in January.”
“We are excited to welcome WWE back to Tropicana Field for
the 2024 Royal Rumble,” said Tampa Bay Rays President Matt
Silverman. “The Royal Rumble will provide first-class sports
entertainment to both those seeing the action in person and
watching as part of a worldwide television audience. This
event will bring visitors from around the globe to
experience the beauty of our area and all it has to offer.”
“As a leader in event production and promotion, we are
thrilled to collaborate with WWE to bring Royal Rumble to
our destination,” Caleb Peterson, Visit St. Pete/Clearwater
Senior Business Development Manager. “We look forward to
welcoming all of the WWE fans to our community, a community
that will certainly match their energy and enthusiasm for
sports entertainment. A special thank you to our community
partners – the Tampa Bay Rays, City of St. Petersburg, and
Tampa Bay Sports Commission – for their role in creating
this unique opportunity for our destination.”
“Team Tampa Bay loved hosting WrestleMania 37 two years ago
and we’re now beyond excited to have the opportunity to
collaborate again with our longtime friends at WWE,” said
Rob Higgins, Tampa Bay Sports Commission Executive Director.
“Royal Rumble Weekend in January of 2024 will be a
phenomenal regional effort that spans Pinellas and
Hillsborough Counties including both Tropicana Field and
Amalie Arena. Together, we’re focused on making sure that
WWE Universe is treated to a weekend that’s filled with
memories that last a lifetime.”
