The 5 best WrestleMania venues of all time

Other venues worth mentioning

WrestleMania VI at Toronto's Skydome in 1990

There were several other venues that nearly made my top five that are worth mentioning. First of all, Chicago's Allstate Arena (formerly the Rosemont Horizon) has hosted WrestleMania on three different occassions and is probably the loudest arena in the United States. Wrestlers often mention the venue being their favorite to perform in. However, from a visual standpoint, it's not the most impressive looking venue, which is why it just missed the list.

Toronto's Skydome is another. The host of two different WrestleManias which are pretty iconic in the pantheon of WWE history, this was one was very close. However, I didn't feel the "look" of the show and the stadium itself had what it takes to overcome the five mentioned on the list.

Many of the WrestleMania events in recent years have had some really awesome sets, though the arena structures themselves tend to run together. WrestleManias 24-28 are all good examples of this. If I was ranking just the set/stage alone, one of these would have a pretty good chance at making the list.

When it comes to the modern WrestleMania shows, WrestleMania 31 at Levi Stadium was the closest to making the list for me. A pretty picturesque setting in the Bay Area that night made for a memorable viewing experience. However, WrestleMania 30 and 34 at the Superdome overcame all of the other recent WrestleManias using the city hosting the show itself as the tiebreaker. It's just really hard to top New Orleans as a host city. There's a reason WWE returned there so quickly following the success of WrestleMania 30 in 2014.
