ARLINGTON (CBSDFW.COM) - Wrestling fans from around the world are descending on North Texas this weekend for a special event like no other. It is time for WrestleMania, taking place Sunday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. WWE hopes to set a new attendance record at the event. An estimated 100,000 people are set to pack the venue.

But there are plenty of fun things happening this weekend before the wrestlers enter the ring.

The WWE will celebrate its 2016 Hall of Fame class. Sting leads the pack of this year's inductees.

It all leads up to the main event on Sunday, when WrestleMania takes over the Dallas Cowboys home turf. If you are planning on attending the show, expect big delays on the streets and highways surrounding AT&T Stadium. In fact, since many visitors approach the stadium from the north, it might be a good idea to drive past the venue and arrive from the south. Traffic may be easier to navigate.

And, of course, if you do not need to be in this part of Arlington on Sunday, it would be best to simply avoid the area.
