The event also ranks #6 all-time for WrestleMania attendance:

"WrestleMania's return to New Orleans once again delivered record results," said WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events John Saboor. "This would not have been possible without the tireless support of Mayor Landrieu and our Local Organizing Committee partners throughout New Orleans. We now look forward to a historicWrestleMania 35 celebration next year in New York and New Jersey."

"New Orleans was extremely proud to makeWrestleManiaWeek part of our Tricentennial celebration," said New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu. "It was so exciting to host WWE fans from around the world who traveled to experience the grandeur ofWrestleMania, and all that our beautiful city has to offer. Thank you to everyone who makes it possible to stage such an epic event."

WrestleMania 35 will be hosted at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ next year on April 7, 2019.
