Many of Minnesota’s biggest wrestling fans hoped WrestleMania 41 would be held in Minneapolis, but the event was awarded to Las Vegas just last month.

While ticket sale details for the 2026 event are yet to be announced, it’s crucial for fans to register for pre-sale opportunities. This will ensure they don’t miss out on the chance to be part of this historic event.
