On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that WrestleMania’s return to New Orleans happened because of how hard the city fought for the event to be a part of its tricentennial. The city told WWE that it would be a part of history and that is what sold WWE on the idea of returning to New Orleans in a short period of time. Although a number of other cities were under consideration, none were close offering the promotional push that New Orleans offered.
