“We are proud to bring WWE’s premier event, WrestleMania, to Silicon Valley, and grateful for the tireless efforts the City of Santa Clara, the City of San Jose and the San Francisco 49ers have put forth to make this dream become a reality,” Vince McMahon said. “The innovative technology and connectivity at Levi’s Stadium will set a new standard of customer service for our fans and ensure they have the most interactive experience in WrestleMania history.”
WrestleMania 31 will cap off a week-long celebration with events throughout the Bay Area. A four-day interactive fan festival, WrestleMania Axxess , will be held at the San Jose Convention Center and the SAP Center will play host to the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Monday Night Raw. Anti-bullying rallies known as Be a STAR, hospital visits and other pro-social activities will take place in an effort to give back to the host community.
WrestleMania 29 at MetLife Stadium generated more than $100 million in economic impact for New York/New Jersey region last year and will be held at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on April 6.
