UFC Tests Giant White House Event Structure in Pennsylvania Ahead of June 14 Card

The off-site test underscores the scale of staging fights at the White House.

Overview

  • The UFC assembled and tested a custom open-air studio in Lititz, Pennsylvania as the centerpiece for its June 14 White House event.
  • Township officials put its size at about 90 feet tall with a 120-by-120-foot footprint.
  • Supervisors approved TAIT Global to conduct the test at its Lititz facility, and the company is now breaking down the structure for transport to Washington.
  • Plans call for reassembly on the White House South Lawn alongside a temporary 4,500-seat arena, with an overflow area on the Ellipse reported to hold up to 100,000 people.
  • The off-site build lets producers check assembly and safety steps before they work within the White House’s tighter space and security limits.
