TAMPA, Fla. - After spending three months broadcasting from Tropicana Field, the WWE announced it must move to a new venue but will remain in the Bay Area.

This week, the pro-wrestling organization said ThunderDome will make the Yuengling Center its headquarters starting April 12 on Monday Night Raw.  It’s a place where fans have been able to register for a virtual seat during the pandemic.

According to the WWE, more than 650,000 fans across the world have registered to tune in via live video to watch WWE shows. Fans can register on www.WWEThunderDome.com.

The WWE ThunderDome first took up residence at the Amway Center in Orlando, but had to find a new home when the NBA season began in December.
