Hey guys, I speculated a bit here http://rohworld.com/location-location-r ... 5-weekend/ and am pasting below as well:

With news of Ring of Honor breaking their all-time attendance record for the forthcoming April show in New Orleans over WrestleMania 34 weekend (Supercard of Honor), it’s time to think of an even greater logistical challenge: next year’s WrestleMania weekend. With a (rumored) not yet announced return to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, what is Ring of Honor to do in the New York market?

Ring of Honor already regularly sells out their home base in the New York market- the Hammerstein Ballroom, just across the street from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, the venue maxes out at 1,800 for ROH’s logistical setup. In 2013 (the last time WrestleMania was in town), ROH ran a double shot in the building. The first day in the larger Hammerstein (1,800) and the next day in the smaller Manhattan Center (upstairs, drawing a near sellout of 850).

2013 was a very different time for ROH. They hadn’t yet found a groove in the Sinclair era and the overall attendance was a struggle (about 600) as compared to 2017 (just over 1,100). Today, Ring of Honor is a much hotter promotion- especially with a buzz and affiliation with New Japan Pro Wrestling and The Bullet Club. Although things change quickly in the wrestling business, it would be fair to assume that things will remain consist for next year or even show growth. Do remember that a Sinclair-Tribune merger is on the horizon and TV is expected in the New York market once the sale closes (WPIX; Channel 11). Although TV is no longer a panacea for what ails wrestling attendance, it certainly won’t hurt. So, where to place a growing wrestling promotion over the biggest weekend of the year, in the biggest U.S. market? This is a difficult challenge.

In terms of venue size and location alone, the perfect venue in any other world would be the Theatre at Madison Square Garden. The Theatre has hosted wrestling in the past (including AAA and WCW many years ago) and can seat around 5,000. The challenge is, can you get the venue? If the WWE plans to hold any WrestleMania related events at MSG that weekend, the answer would be no. The WWE would probably ask that no related events be hosted at MSG related venues that weekend. I feel it is likely next year that The Hall of Fame, NXT, Raw and Smackdown will be at more than one venue: perhaps MSG, Barclays Center and Newark. Those venues are too busy to remain dark for other events (especially NBA and NHL teams) for that many days in a row.

Although WrestleMania will be outdoors, a venue like MCU Park in Brooklyn (which ROH has an existing relationship with- based on past Field of Honor events) would be unlikely to host events out of season. One could explore a larger college gym in Brooklyn or Queens, but I can’t remember a spot like Carnesecca Arena (St. Johns)- 5,600 seats- ever hosting wrestling. Venues outside of New York proper (or even in the Bronx or Staten Island), require more of a commitment on a fan’s part and would be hard to attract people away from the heart of activities. A site like the Westchester County Center (a long time WWE ‘B’ or ‘C’ show level venue), Poughkeepsie’s Mid-Hudson Civic Center or Trenton’s CURE Insurance Arena are just too far out for those not from the area.

So what is Ring of Honor to do? The likely answer is remain at the Hammerstein, charge higher prices and perhaps string together 2-3 shows (3,600-5,400 tickets) that have an episodic feel, such as a tournament, to attract fans to return. Are there some viable venues that were not mentioned? What would you suggest?

Could see it 100% not happening, but the MetLife Stadium is apart of the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford.

In March of 2019, the American Dream Meadowlands is scheduled to open. This is a mall within the complex that is looking to be ginormous, maybe even bigger than the Mall of America. Here are two features they are building in the mall that ROH should look into:

- Indoor ice rink (NHL-sized)
- Concert hall – 2,400–3,000 seat performing arts and concert venue

And, of course, the name.

Discussing this in a FB group as well and came across this as a lead... http://liu.edu/paramount

Paramount is expected to reopen soon in Brooklyn and seat up to 3,500... including listing 'Boxing' as a potential event.

I'd assume multiple days in the Hammerstein like they did in 2016 in Dallas. Paramount may be a good venue as it seats 3,500.

If they're set up for over 5,000 at this year's Supercard of Honor they should aim even higher in NYC.

Would Supercard of Honor for Friday night, NJPW-branded event for Saturday night be out of the question?

That could be a great idea.

Should the Manhattan Center be picked, could alternatively host a double-shot of Manhattan Mayhem VIII and Supercard of Honor XIII.

As first reported on nypost.com, the New York-New Jersey area will once again play host to The Showcase of the Immortals when WrestleMania 35 descends on MetLife Stadium on April 7, 2019.

The last time The Show of Shows came to MetLife was WrestleMania 29, an event held in April 2013 that grossed an excess of $72 million and attracted a sold-out crowd of 80,676 fans from all 50 states and 34 countries. The incredible event featured WWE Champion The Rock going head-to-head against John Cena, Triple H battling Brock Lesnar in a No Holds Barred Match, The Undertaker taking on CM Punk, and WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No clashing with Dolph Ziggler & Big E.

Another big part of WrestleMania Week will be the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, NXT TakeOver, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown LIVE, all of which will take place at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

WrestleMania 35 has strong potential to be bigger than ever, with ticket and special Travel Packages becoming available later this year. Prepare yourself as The Grandest Stage of Them All returns to New York-New Jersey on April 2019.

Should ROH go big and try for the Prudential Center?

Strongly suggest to get your hotels booked NOW. Even if it's not exactly what you want, lock a room down and then check in 3-4 weeks to see what else becomes available. I'm seeing short-term house/apartment rentals for WrestleMania 35 week getting eaten up already.

Also, use your discounts through AAA, military, etc. My AAA discount looks to be shaving off $15-20 per night, which racks up to about $100 savings for the whole stay.

With WWE hosting no WrestleMania-related events at MSG, ROH should look to book the 5,500 seat Hulu Theater at MSG (Felt Forum)

ROH in MSG would bw great. Maybe if ROH booked the MSG Theater, Wrestlcon could book the Manhattan Center for their live wrestling events and the New Yorker for the convention.

That would be interesting! I just hope most things don't end up in New Jersey like last time (sorry, NJers!).

I see it will be a whole lot of program that you prepare for everyone. In fact, it will be a big event. Thanks for sharing.
