WWE's current record is 93,173, which was set March 29, 1987, at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich.

"All I wanna do is break our attendance record of 93" thousand, said McMahon recently.  "As soon as this facility was opened, I knew we had to bring WrestleMania here."

AT&T Stadium normally seats 80,000. If configured correctly, its capacity is just over 105,000.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had similar aspirations for Super Bowl XLV, which was held in the stadium on Feb. 6, 2011. But after a problem with seating, the official attendance fell 766 fans short of the record of 103,985 set at Super Bowl XIV in the Rose Bowl.

Fan attendance is fickle, but WWE exercises control over its matches. Officials admit the wrestling is scripted and the winners are predetermined. But they say fans show up for the same reason people watch plays or movies, to be carried away by the stories.

"It's not pro wrestling," said McMahon. "We're entertainers. This is a vast experience of the soap opera and the theater of what we put on. You're not going to find anything in the world that has more grandeur than this."

WWE officials said a weeklong series of events at American Airlines Center, the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and others will draw more than 125,000 wrestling fans. They said the event will generate at least $100 million in revenue.
