WrestleVotes Radio is reporting that WWE is currently in
negotiations with Nashville, Tennessee, to bring
WrestleMania 44 to the New Nissan Stadium in 2028.
Set to open in Summer of 2027, the $2.1 billion project will
replace the current Nissan Stadium, the home of the
Tennessee Titans of the NFL.
The new stadium is set to seat around 60,000 fans, slightly
less than the current stadium which seats 69,000. The
current Nissan Stadium was the host of SummerSlam 2022.
Almost 49,000 fans attended that show.
Butch Spyridon, CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors
Corp, said a few years ago that the city had a verbal deal
with WWE to bring WrestleMania 43 to the new stadium when it
opens, but next year’s show went to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
and the new stadium is not set to open till a few months
after WrestleMania 43 is set to take place.
Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com also wrote that the city has
submitted a bid of $3.5 million as a site fee plus tax
incentives to bring the show to Nashville. In comparison,
Las Vegas paid around $6 million to get WrestleMania 42 and
$5 million for WrestleMania 41.
