According to President of the United States, Donald Trump, the upcoming UFC card will feature a stadium in front of the White House that will hold up to 100,000 people. Trump didnt offer any additional details about the proposed structure, but with less than five months before the UFC White House card unfolds construction may need to start soon.
On Friday, Trump spoke with reporters to announce that Washington D.C. will also host an IndyCar race on the city streets this August. This event adds to the overall celebration of Americas 250th anniversary this summer, which prompted Trump to bring up the UFC White House card and mention plans to build a 100,000-seat stadium.

UFC is coming as you know in front of the White House, said Trump. Theyre building literally a stadium. Were going to have over 100,000 people.
If this is actually going to happen it would be incredible. Remember, UFC CEO, Dana White, already confirmed that the promotion will set up shop at a nearby park to host 85,000 UFC fans. White and company are trying to take over Washington D.C. and give fight fans an experience they wont forget, especially considering the actual UFC White House event will be invite only.

I assume he mean temporary seating. A real "stadium" that size would likely cost over a billion dollars. But hey it's not his money.

Does he even know how long it would take to build a venue like that? Even a non permanent one?
Someone needs to shut him the fuck up.

(549 posts)Our orange H***ler wannabe is planning a birthday celebration with a UFC fight on the WH lawn. Well it just so happens that that day, June 14th is Flag Day. Some one should plan a extra large celebration of Flag Day. One might call it a demonstration. There should be a massive counter to the grift that will be going on inside the WH fence. "WHOSE FLAG! OUR FLAG!" All over the country. Just an Idea.
