Venue
editThe game is planned to be played at a neutral site. ArenaBowl XXXIII will be the first ArenaBowl hosted on a neutral site since ArenaBowl XXVI. The site was originally selected as the Target Center, home of the Minnesota Myth. However, this was dropped when the Myth folded and Myth co-owner Lee Hutton was expelled from his post as league commissioner.
On June 27, 2024, the league announced a new venue for the game would be held at American Dream Center, a large retail complex and entertainment facility located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, adjacent to the Meadowlands Sports Complex and not far from MetLife Stadium. [2][3]
