WrestleMania XXVII is confirmed for Atlanta, but later on down the road, I am considering the following locations for upcoming WrestleManias:

WrestleMania XXVIII (28)- April 2, 2012; BC Place in Vancouver, Canada (the same city that hosted the 2010 Winter Games last Feb.) Seating capacity: 64,000-69,000.
WrestleMania 2X9 (29)- March 25, 2013; The Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Seating capacity: 72,000.
WrestleMania 30- March 31, 2014; New Meadowlands Stadium in New York. Seating Capacity: about 68,500.
WrestleMania XXXI (31)- April 6, 2015; Tiger Stadium in Death Valley, California. Seating Capacity: 85,000.
WrestleMania XXXII (32)- March 29, 2016; Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Seating Capacity: 66,600.
WrestleMania 33- April 4, 2017; The Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Seating Capacity: 107,000. (the previous record of 93,000+ for WMIII, set in ’87, will be broken. This will also be the first WrestleMania with a seating capacity of at least 100,000.)
WrestleMania 34- April 3, 2018; The Staples Center in Los Angeles. Seating Capacity: 25,000.
WrestleMania XXXV (35)- April 2, 2019; Wembley Stadium in London, England. Seating Capacity: 99,000. (This also marks the First WrestleMania to take place outside of North America.)
WrestleMania 2020 (36)- April 1, 2020; Univ. Of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. (a decade in the making) Seating Capacity: 75,000.

I’m not a Nostradamus, but I’m not no Edgar Cayce, neither; however, this is merely a prediction. Tell me what you think and give me some feedback, if necessary. Try not to mistake this question for a planetarium this time, okay?

Number 30 would be at the MSG that’s where numbers 1,10,20 were held so i think thats where 30 would be held but apart from that everything else sounds fine

Who Ever can translate this paragraph from English to spanish gets 10 points!!!!!!!!!!?

Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. It was the sixth-strongest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the third-strongest hurricane on record that made landfall in the United States. Katrina formed on August 23 during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and caused devastation along much of the north-central Gulf Coast. The most severe loss of life and property damage occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana, which flooded as the levee system catastrophically failed, in many cases hours after the storm had moved inland. The hurricane caused severe destruction across the entire Mississippi coast and into Alabama, as far as 100 miles (160 km) from the storm’s center. Katrina was the eleventh tropical storm, fifth hurricane, third major hurricane, and second Category 5 hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic season.
It formed over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005, and crossed southern Florida as a moderate Category 1 hurricane, causing some deaths and flooding there, before strengthening rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico and becoming one of the strongest hurricanes on record while at sea. The storm weakened before making its second and third landfalls as a Category 3 storm on the morning of August 29 in southeast Louisiana and at the Louisiana/Mississippi state line, respectively.
The storm surge caused severe damage along the Gulf Coast, devastating the Mississippi cities of Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, and Pascagoula. In Louisiana, the federal flood protection system in New Orleans failed in 53 different places. Nearly every levee in metro New Orleans breached as Hurricane Katrina passed east of the city, subsequently flooding 80% of the city and many areas of neighboring parishes for weeks.
At least 1,836 people lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina and in the subsequent floods, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane. The storm is estimated to have been responsible for $81.2 billion (2005 U.S. dollars) in damage, making it the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The catastrophic failure of the flood protection in New Orleans prompted immediate review of the Army Corps of Engineers since the agency has by congressional mandate sole responsibility for the flood protection. There was also widespread criticism of the federal, state and local governments’ reaction to the storm and resulting in an investigation by the U.S. Congress and the resignation of Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael D. Brown. Conversely, the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service were widely commended for accurate forecasts and abundant lead time.
