Ultimately, in February 2010, Atlanta was awarded the right to host the event.〔 According to the Miami-Dade Sports Commission, WWE management felt that Miami's planning for the event would have been too hectic with many other sporting events held in the area around the same time of the planning, such as Super Bowl XLIV.〔 However, the Miami area was reportedly considered for the next event due to its international ties, facilities, airports and experience of hosting previous major events.〔 Bidding documents were sent to seventeen cities in consideration for hosting a WrestleMania event between 2012 and 2014, with fourteen replying in interest.〔 Other cities under consideration for WrestleMania XXVIII included Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, Toronto, Detroit, Tampa, Vancouver, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Orlando and Houston.〔〔 The city of Dallas also showed interest but had to withdraw from bidding for the next two years due to hosting events such as the NCAA Final Four.〔 On February 9, 2011, ''The Miami Herald'' announced that Miami had won the right to host WrestleMania in 2012.〔 WWE later officially announced the event in a press conference held at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.〔〔 WrestleMania XXVIII was the second Wrestlemania event that was hosted in the state of Florida, the fourth open-air event, and the third event to be held entirely outdoors.〔 For hosting the event, WWE will received a $250,000 cash incentive from the Miami-Dade Sports Commission raised through grants and sponsorships.〔 Along with WrestleMania XXVIII, a series of events grouped as "WrestleMania Week" were held in the week preceding the event including WrestleMania's annual ''WrestleMania Axxess'' fan convention at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony at the American Airlines Arena, the finals of the WrestleMania Reading Challenge, and a Celebrity Pro-Am Golf tournament.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WrestleMania XXVIII」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
