We know it's been about five years or so since Wheel of Fortune went on the road. But if Wheel of Fortune were on the road again, especially after the plague comes to an end, where would you like to see it tape for the first time? And what locations should they revisit after only one time there?

I'd like to see them go to Washington, DC again. Since their trademark is "America's Game", it's surprising that they've only taped there once.
Sometime in the early 2010's (I forget which season), a remote was considered at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Connecticut. That, or its competitor Mohegan Sun, would be nice. They did do a Wheelmobile event at Foxwoods in 2018 or 19, and they often do The Price is Right Live there; I've been to both.

I would like for them to come to South Carolina because it's Vanna's home state. It's my home state also. I wouldn't have to travel very far away to see a taping. They were there in Season 24. It would be nice to see them come back there

The 2022-2023 season will be the 40th anniversary of the nighttime, syndicated version of Wheel. I would love to see them come to New York City again for their 40th anniversary. Wheel last came to NYC for their 30th anniversary at the Theater at Madison Square Garden (now called Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden). I hope if they do come back to New York City for their 40th anniversary I hope it will be at my favorite place Radio City Music Hall just like they did for their 25th anniversary.
Here is a brief recap. The first time Wheel of Fortune came to New York City was at Radio City Music Hall. They came back to New York’s Radio City Music Hall during Season 21 to celebrate their 4,000th show and their 25th anniversary. They taped at the Theater (now called Hulu Theater) at Madison Square Garden during Season 17 in 1999 and for their 30th anniversary.

I'd love another NYC road trip, and the Hawaii shows were always a lot of fun. Assuming the world is back to normal by then, I could see them returning to the road again for a few weeks in season 40.

Have they ever gone to Iowa, or another state in the middle of the country? I know they've held auditions in Iowa (I was at the last Wheelmobile event in Iowa) but it seems like the show has never really visited anywhere like Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa has venues for it (Wells-Fargo Arena, or even the Iowa State Fairgrounds, could be a great place).

Personally, before any future Daytona 500s (as I'm a car and car racing geek), I'd like to see them, like American Ninja Warrior did for one of their Qualifiers and City Finals one season, visit Daytona Beach, near the Daytona International Speedway.

I would love for them to visit Memphis since it's only an hour away from my home town of Jonesboro, Arkansas. Lol. As far as I know, they've never been to Memphis before. And another place I think they should visit again is Atlanta! Would you believe it's been almost 25 years since they went to Atlanta?

Nashville is of course at the top of my list. I'd also like to see St. Louis as they have never been there. Indianapolis is another good spot. Atlanta would be another good spot, since they've only been there once.

Atlanta would be another good spot, since they've only been there once. I'm from around here, and I second this! I don't think they've ever been here before, but we have the room for it! Bankers Life Fieldhouse is plenty big enough for Wheel. It'd be a good opportunity to get some Indiana players on the show; and if I ever become a contestant, that'd be the perfect way to do it--I wouldn't have to fly  I'd also like to see them head back to Seattle. When was the last time they were there? |

I'm pretty sure the show itself hasn't been to Seattle since 2002, but they have filmed remote shots for various theme weeks in recent years.

As a North Carolinian, it baffles me that the show has never visited Raleigh or Charlotte. However, I do recall Jeopardy holding their College Championship in Raleigh years ago.

Austin
San Antonio
Salt Lake City
Baltimore
Minneapolis
Tampa
Charlotte
St. Louis
Milwaukee
Louisville
Detroit (with special Dream Car prizes from Ford/GM/Chrysler)
State fair in any state besides Ohio
If they come back to SC, I'd prefer Myrtle Beach, although I'd use it for Vanna's farewell week.

I was about to say this. Wheel needs to put North Carolina on the map. I would be one honored North Carolinian if they came to Raleigh, specifically. Charlotte is not a bad place either. The closest they've come to either places I'd imagine to be Nashville or Norfolk, depending on which city they'd be visiting. |
