List of WrestleMania 4 Venue and Location Details

Venue — Atlantic City Convention Hall

Official Venue — Advertised as Trump Plaza

WrestleMania 4 was held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall — a historic venue built in 1929 that hosted the Miss America Pageant for decades. The event was advertised as being at Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino but the Convention Hall was directly across the road.

City — Atlantic City, New Jersey

Casino Capital of the East Coast

Atlantic City, New Jersey — the casino and entertainment capital of the US East Coast in 1988 — was the perfect backdrop for the glitzy, celebrity-infused WrestleMania 4.

Attendance — 19,199

Near-Identical to WM1 (19,121)

WM4's attendance of 19,199 was nearly identical to WM1's attendance of 19,121 at Madison Square Garden — both events held in relatively intimate arena settings compared to the stadium shows of WM3 and later.

Trump Plaza Connection — Donald Trump's Involvement

Future US President as Event Co-Host

Donald Trump was prominently involved in WM4's promotion and broadcast — the event being branded as Trump Plaza gave Trump and his Atlantic City properties enormous national television exposure through the WWF's PPV platform.

WM4 and WM5 Held at Same Venue

Only Back-to-Back Same-Venue WMs

WM4's Atlantic City Convention Hall (Trump Plaza) also hosted WM5 one year later on April 2, 1989 — the only time in WrestleMania history that two consecutive events were held at the exact same venue.

Date — Sunday, March 27, 1988

Late March Sunday

WrestleMania 4 was held on Sunday, March 27, 1988 — an unusually late March date that preceded the typical April window used for most WrestleManias.

Convention Hall Architecture — Historic 1929 Venue

Beaux-Arts Architecture — National Historic Landmark

The Atlantic City Convention Hall (officially Historic Boardwalk Hall) is a National Historic Landmark built in 1929 in Beaux-Arts style — its pipe organ is the world's largest pipe organ by tonal resources, and the building's ornate interior provided a unique backdrop for WM4.

Location on the Atlantic City Boardwalk

Boardwalk Setting — Atlantic City Ambiance

The Atlantic City Convention Hall sits directly on the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk — the most iconic stretch of boardwalk entertainment in the United States, adding to the glamour of WM4's setting.
