Dana White reveals White House event arena design, over 70,000 ticket requests

Dana White showcased how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, with the venue specifically designed to feature the White House in the background during fights. The stage is being constructed in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington D.C., where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event as a gift for America's 250th anniversary, with no taxpayer money involved. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at the Ellipse park across from the arena. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, a performance by Zac Brown Band, celebrity guests, and big-screen fight viewing for over 100,000 fans expected to attend.
