The White House lawn doesn’t have an arena for live events, so UFC will have to build one.
Much like it did for UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi all the way back in 2010, the promotion has constructed a temporary arena to produce “Freedom 250” on June 14 in Washington, DC. The structure has already been assembled and tested in Lititz, Pennsylvania, a small town populated by less than 10,000 people.
The massive structure led some residents to believe they were getting a new rollercoaster.
Dropping a rollercoaster
in Lititz is like putting a monorail in Springfield.
It’s easy to see why the UFC White House fight card is costing upward of $60 million to produce. The promotion won’t make its money back because the event will not be attended by ticket holders. That means the 85,000 fans who descend upon the nearby Ellipse Park will have to spend beaucoup bucks to make a dent in the UFC White House price tag.
