Opened: 2007 Capacity: 90,000 Surprised? You shouldn't be. The new (the old one that hosted 1992's SummerSlam was demolished in 2003) Wembley Stadium is, perhaps, the best looking major sporting venue on the planet today. It's incredibly modern, and with a 90,000-seat capacity, you have to think that number can be raised for an event like WrestleMania. From all accounts, Wembley is another massive venue that doesn't have a bad seat in the house. That makes for a tremendous atmosphere, with everyone in the building being excited and able to witness everything that is taking place. That atmosphere wouldn't change because of the time change, either. Like Wales, London hosting WrestleMania would mean a later starting date for the live crowd, but you'd be hard-pressed to find too many people that would care about that very much. There is a sliding roof, but it doesn't close completely. That can protect most people from the elements but not everyone. That means weather is something to be looked at. For that time of the year, the average high temperature for London is about 50 degrees (10 Celsius) with an average low of about 43 degrees (6 Celsius). Precipitation isn't going to be a huge issue, but those temperatures are colder than the other non-dome and non-fully retractable roof venue cities on the list, so fans would need to plan accordingly. Everyone who has ever been to the stadium says the overall experience is unlike anything else they've ever seen or had. Why not extend that to the pro wrestling world?
