Dana White reveals White House UFC event arena design and logistics

Dana White has shared details about the arena setup for the UFC event at the White House. 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 emphasized the White House will be visible in the background during fights. The UFC is funding the entire event without taxpayer money as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected across the fight week events. The two-day fan festival will include press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, plus celebrity guests and big screen fight viewing.
