WrestleMania 31 has become the highest grossing live event in WWE history.
The event, which took place in Santa Clara, California on Sunday evening, generated $12.6 million, beating the previous best of $12.3 million grossed at WrestleMania 29 two years ago.
WrestleMania 31 also broke the attendance record for Levi’s Stadium, with 76,976 fans from all 50 American states and 40 countries packing into the home of NFL side San Francisco 49ers.
Levi’s Stadium’s highest turnout before that was when 70,779 people attended the 49ers’ NFL contest against Chicago Bears in September 2014, the five-time Super Bowl champions’ first regular-season match in the stadium.
“On behalf of the cities of Santa Clara and San Jose, we would like to thank all the fans that came from around the world to be part of WrestleMania 31,” said Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews. "We congratulate both WWE and Levi’s Stadium on their historic achievement."
WrestleMania 31’s attendance was the fifth highest in the show’s history, after WrestleMania 3 (93,173), WrestleMania 29 (80,676), WrestleMania 23 (80,103), and WrestleMania 28 (78,363).
WrestleMania 32 will be held inside The AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Sunday, April 3, 2016. Ticket information will be announced later this year.
