A new report from Fightful Select has revealed that Minneapolis, Minnesota is being heavily discussed as a potential location for WrestleMania 41 in 2025. This news was actually leaked by Minneapolis city planners to local media some time ago, but WWE officials confirmed months ago that Minneapolis was one of several cities being considered.
Representatives from the city were even present at Sofi Stadium for WrestleMania 39 earlier this year, indicating their interest in hosting the prestigious event. However, it has now been reported that U.S. Bank Stadium is likely to be the chosen venue for WrestleMania 41.
One of the reasons for this decision is the weather and baseball season, which could pose challenges for hosting the event at Target Field. U.S. Bank Stadium, on the other hand, has a dome and can accommodate over 73,000 spectators for Minnesota Vikings NFL football games. WWE officials view U.S. Bank Stadium as a world-class venue, and local officials are reportedly becoming more aggressive in securing non-Vikings related events at the stadium.
It is worth noting that there was a previous incident where individuals associated with the city leaked information about WrestleMania, ultimately costing them the opportunity to host the event. Therefore, it is important for the city to keep any future plans confidential until an official announcement is made.
