It’s WrestleMania 41 week, and the wrestling world is setting its eyes on Sin City.
We are now just days away from WWE’s grand event, and the heat is rising for the two-day spectacle. Aside from the star-studded matches, WrestleMania has become a Super Bowl-like event, bringing wrestling fans around the world to one location to soak in all the experiences offered in the city and other events happening in the lead-up to festivities.
It will be no different this year as WWE will hold its event in one of the top tourist cities in the United States. With the countdown to WrestleMania almost done, here’s what to know about where WrestleMania 41 is.
When is WrestleMania 41?
WrestleMania 41 will be held April 19-20.
Where is WrestleMania 41?
WrestleMania 41 will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, it will be the first WrestleMania at the stadium, and the first one to take place in the city since WrestleMania 9 in 1993.

WrestleMania won’t be the only thing happening in Las Vegas this weekend as WWE will have several events taking place near the city’s iconic strip:

When was Allegiant Stadium built?
Construction on Allegiant Stadium began in 2017, and the stadium was completed in 2020. It is the newest stadium in the NFL.
Allegiant Stadium WrestleMania 41 capacity
Allegiant Stadium isn’t a massive stadium. It has a capacity of 65,000 for football games − one of the smallest in the NFL. The WrestleMania stage will reduce the capacity with sections of seats blocked off, but it will be made up with floor and ringside seats.
The capacity for WrestleMania 41 hasn’t been announced, but past attendance figures for the event could help estimate the crowd for each night. Last year’s WrestleMania was held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, which has a normal capacity of 67,594. Each night of WrestleMania 40 had attendance just over 70,000.
Using last year as a starting point, the capacity for each night of WrestleMania 41 could be approximately 68,000.
