WrestleMania is a two-day extravaganza that turns the host city into a weeklong festival, potentially worth upwards of $200 million, and broadcast in 57 countries to over 1 billion people worldwide. WWE’s flagship event is the No. 6 top sports event brand worldwide. Wherever the show goes, it brings a lot of cash influx to the host city. This year’s event was held at Dallas AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where 156,352 people attended. Making a gross of 206.5 million USD, and the same is the estimated economic impact on a potential host city for WrestleMania 43.

Butch Spyridon, CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp.,previously persuaded WWE to host WrestleMania in southeastern city. Mayor John Cooper and the Tennessee Titans delivered the draft terms for the enclosed proposed stadium to the Nashville Council in October. Following that, talks ramped up, and Spyridon received a verbal commitment from WWE to host WrestleMania in 2027, with a condition of hosting it inside the new stadium under construction in Nashville.

We are grateful for their confidence and belief in Nashville. Spyridon recently met with the Council to report the deal with WrestleMania was in place. The Metro Council will vote the proposal to build a $2.1 billion enclosed stadium. He told the Council. “This is just the beginning of what our city can do if the stadium deal is approved. Deep appreciation to WWE, the Titans and the state for getting this done.”

“Nashville has exploded as a cultural centre in the United States and as the land of opportunity. WWE looks forward to hosting many events in partnership with the great city of Nashville at the proposed enclosed stadium,” he continued.

To illustrate the enormity of the event, Spyridon called WrestleMania, “CMA Fest on steroids: equivalent to two-to-three CMA Fests in one week in terms of impact.”
