Rumble at the Dome? Atlanta expected to host WrestleMania in 2011

Atlanta, let's get ready to rumble!

Atlanta city and sports officials are expected to announce Feb. 1 the city will play host to WrestleMania XXVII in 2011.

The announcement of a “major sporting event” has been scheduled at the Georgia Dome, and the list of dignitaries for the press conference includes Mayor Kasim Reed and members of the Atlanta Sports Council, executives of the Atlanta Falcons and state officials.

The event could bring at least 65,000 fans from around the world to the Georgia Dome for the professional wrestling match and its week of activities, the media alert states.

WrestleMania is the flagship event of Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. (NYSE: WWE), a kind of “Super Bowl” of professional wrestling.

The event could mean big dollars for Atlanta.

Houston hosted WrestleMania XXV in 2009 with an attendance of 72,744 with an economic impact of 49.8 million.

Orlando hosted WrestleMania XXIV in 2008 and realized a $51.5 million economic impact and Detroit hosted the event in 2007 and saw a $29.7 million economic impact.

This year's WrestleMania will be held in Glendale/Phoenix.

Dolphins Stadium was the other city competing with the Georgia Dome and they had it in the Citrus Bowl two-years ago. Cowboys Stadium should have it within the next few years. I have a feeling that Canada will get one soon, too.

Okay riddle me this, do you think that our fair town can handle something like a WM?

Any city that can handle the Super Bowl shouldn't have any trouble handling WrestleMania.
