Dana White reveals White House arena design for UFC 250th anniversary event

Dana White showcased the arena design for the UFC event at the White House, emphasizing that the White House will be visible in the background during fights. The production team is building a custom stage in Europe that will be shipped to Philadelphia and then trucked to Washington D.C. for installation on the South Lawn. White confirmed that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, presenting it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. 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 event will include a two-day fan festival featuring press conferences, weigh-ins, performances by Zac Brown Band, celebrity guests, and fight viewing on large screens, with expected attendance exceeding 100,000 fans.
