A massive structure built for UFC Freedom 250 set for June 14 at the White House is on display in cozy Lititz, Pennsylvania (pop. 9,733).
The Lititz Record Express posted a photo of the structure on newspaperâs Facebook page April 20, and the town's sneak peak quickly began to circulate on social media.
The structure is 90 feet tall and 120 feet by 120 feet on the ground, according to Jeremy Strathmeyer, a member of the Warwick Township Board of Supervisors in Lititz.
Strathmeyer said the supervisors on April 15 approved a special request from TAIT Global LLC to test the structure at its facility on Furnace Hills Pike. Jeff Tennis, Vice-Chairman Warwick Township Board of Supervisors, also confirmed group's approving the request.
One Facebook commenter said she got excited when she thought it was a rollercoaster.
But according to the Lititz Record Express, itâs "a temporary open-air studio structure to serve as the centerpiece'' during the UFCâs seven-fight card at the White House.
The structure was set up in a matter of days. Strathmeyer said he left town Friday and thinks the structure already might be down.
"I think they dissembled it and put it in 18-wheelers and they're getting ready to transport it down to Washington,'' Strathmeyer said. "That was the plan.''
TAIT's website says the design-and-production company has worked on everything from world-class theme parks, presidential libraries and indoor ski parks. "This isn't there first rodeo,'' said Strathmeyer, adding that Tait has worked with the Super Bowl
According to the newspaperâs post, âFollowing the local test and disassembly (going on now), the specialized structure will be reassembled at the White House'' for UFC Freedom 250.
The event also will feature a temporary 4,500-seat arena on the White House South Lawn, and Deadline.com reported that an overflow area at the 52-acre Ellipse park could accomodate up to 100,000 people.
