WWE officially announced that the 2017 Royal Rumble PPV would take place at the on Sunday 1/29/17 at the 65,000 seat Alamodome in San Antonio,Texas. 

WWE held the PPV in that venue in January 1997, when The Rumble event was headlined by Shawn Michaels defeating Sycho Sid for the WWF championship while the Rumble bout itself was won by Steve Austin, so this PPV would be the 20th anniversary of that event.  The venue is by far the largest one the Rumble event has ever been held in.

Tickets will go on sale on 10/14 with an online pre-sale several days before.

PWInsider.com first reported that San Antonio, Texas would be the host city for the event.
