The host venue for this year’s WWE SummerSlam needs to have its roof replaced, with the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority issuing a statement on the matter. As noted, this year’s show takes place on August 1st and 2nd at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that the roof of the stadium needs to be repaired due to a heavy portion of it sustaining hail damage back in August of 2023. The report notes that an engineering firm has determined the damage doesn’t affect the structural performance of the roof, nor present safety concerns.
The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority told the outlet in a statement:
“All Minnesotans can be confident that the roof at U.S. Bank Stadium is safe, that proactive steps are in place to preserve its unique environment, and the MSFA’s financial safeguards have protected this public investment.”
According to WrestleVotes, a source has indicated that the issue isn’t expected to impact SummerSlam, and that WWE has been informed by city officials things are structurally safe.
