Opened: 1995 Capacity: 84,000 (listed for "Special Events", with the stadium record being 85,413) It isn't exactly a secret that Vince McMahon has fallen in love with Florida as most elderly people do before they decide to retire to the "Sunshine State". Two of the last seven Manias have taken place in Florida, and the company has made the state the new home of NXT, as well as the rumored home of a future physical building for the WWE Hall Of Fame. It's hard to argue with the weather and the beauty the state offers. Honestly, you could replace this entry with Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida and it would be about the same thing other than the approximately 10,000 less seats at RJS, which gives the nod to EverBank for now. Within a few miles from the stadium is Jacksonville Landing, an entertainment district situated along the St. John's River. There you'll find plenty of dining and shopping options, and a bunch of nearby hotels. Throw in a shuttle bus that takes you to and from the stadium, and you have some pretty decent accessibility, which is a plus. Orlando and Miami have seen WrestleMania come to their cities in the last decade. With WWE's love for the state growing, maybe it's time for another Florida city to get its turn.
