Opened: 1989 Capacity: 72,500 is the venue record (WrestleMania 18's 68,237 is the paid record) Right off the bat, you know weather won't be an issue, being inside a domed stadium. That's a huge plus in just about anyone's eyes. Another positive here is that the venue has hosted two WrestleManias (6 and 18) already. The city of Toronto has always been fantastic for wrestling and they make for a great host to major events like Mania. Like M&T Bank Stadium, the Rogers Centre has a very prime location in the heart of the city. It's easy to get to, and there are trains and subways to take people to the stadium if travelling by car isn't a desired option. The most unique aspect about the Rogers Centre is the fact that there is a hotel built into the stadium, with a total of 70 rooms that overlook the inside. It isn't exactly like sitting in the front row but it means that, for a select few, you could attend WrestleMania without ever having to leave your hotel room. It's something different than the rest of the venues can offer, which helps it to stand out.
