Philadelphia Is Hosting WrestleMania 40
By: Tye Richmond
After 25 years of waiting Philadelphia will finally host WrestleMania again in 2024 at Lincoln Financial Field.
WWE announced they will host the two-day at the home of the Philadelphia Eagles, with secondary events (Monday Night Raw, Friday Night Smackdown, & Hall Of Fame ceremony) being held at the Wells Fargo Center and Pennsylvania Convention Center.
The dates are set for Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7.
Philadelphia averages 58-degree highs and 40-degree lows on those dates.
The Wells Fargo Center (then First Union Center) hosted WrestleMania XV in 1999.
WWE Axxess, a fan convention, would be held at the Convention Center.
I went to WrestleMania 35 when it came to New York a couple years ago and had a blast, But now since its so close to home I know the feels will be the same or even greater. I am already trying to plan things out to go to almost every event that will happen that week/weekend.
Going to a WrestleMania is on every wrestling fans bucket. But to go to one for a second time and it being in your “home town” is something special.
