Dana White reveals White House event arena design, over 70,000 apply for tickets

Dana White showcased the arena design for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, emphasizing that the White House will be visible in the background during fights. The stage is being built in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington DC where it will be erected on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event as a gift for America's 250th anniversary, with no taxpayer money being spent. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available for the Ellipse park across from the arena, with over 100,000 fans expected to attend fight week events including a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a Zac Brown Band performance.
