UFC White House Card Faces Seating, Security Hurdles as Price Tag Rises

The UFC’s June 14 White House event is projected to be a historic production with a reported cost potentially approaching $60 million, but organizers still face major logistics: in-person attendance is expected to be around 5,000 due to space and security constraints beneath the South Lawn, a temporary octagon setup, and a grass replacement cost near $700,000. Plans include a National Mall viewing for tens of thousands and weigh-ins possibly at the Lincoln Memorial, with six to seven fights anticipated and broadcasts on Paramount+ (with possible CBS) but no bouts officially announced yet.

AMC Theatres Posts Slower Quarter as Attendance Falls and Revenues Dip

AMC Theatres posted a modest revenue for the December quarter at about $1.28 billion, down 1.4% year over year, while attendance dropped roughly 10% to 56.3 million. The company narrowed losses to $127.4 million (25 cents per share) from $135.6 million a year earlier, with concessions and admissions revenue also down. Despite the decline, AMC remains levered and CEO Adam Aron expressed optimism that a 2026 lineup of blockbuster releases could help drive a box-office recovery.

The World Cup Bump: Is MLS's 2026 boost real or hype?

The piece questions whether MLS will see a genuine World Cup bump in 2026, noting mixed past evidence of attendance and viewership impacts, and arguing that any boost may be modest; MLS is pursuing a large, league-wide marketing push and heavy Apple TV exposure to capitalize on the US-hosted World Cup, but experts caution the effect is unlikely to dramatically alter the league's trajectory.

Sunlit Silence: All-Star Saturday Faces Empty Seats at Intuit Dome

All-Star Saturday at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome drew a sparse crowd despite a reported sellout, as an early 2 p.m. start and bright sun kept fans away and traffic lingered; attendance hovered around 15,067 of 18,300 capacity, with the stands filling only later for the dunk contest. The weekend’s ticketing dynamics—scarce face-value seats, high resale prices, and owners relying on resale portals—underline accessibility issues even as Sunday’s USA vs. World game offered more competitive excitement.

Texas TEA Sets Boundaries on Walkouts and Political Activism in Schools

The Texas Education Agency issued guidance stating that student walkouts and political activism during the school day can trigger absences and affect attendance funding; teachers who facilitate walkouts may face investigations and licensure sanctions; districts that enable or arrange walkouts could have monitors or managers appointed. State law prohibits using taxpayer resources to support or oppose political activism during instructional time, and educators must follow ethics guidelines; concerns or violations can be filed online with TEA for investigation and action.

Pitt trims Acrisure Stadium capacity to boost crowd energy and cut costs

Pitt will reduce Acrisure Stadium capacity from 68,400 to 51,416 by closing the upper decks on the east and west sidelines, with the north end zone seating kept for 10,000 Pitt students. The move aims to concentrate fans, increase home-field energy, and lower operating costs, following 2025 attendance averages around 51,845. Some have floated Pitt building its own stadium, but the school plans to continue sharing Acrisure Stadium for now.

The NBC Sports piece also notes Bad Bunny as halftime act and Green Day for the opening ceremony, a lineup Trump called a “terrible choice” that sows hatred.

WWE Montreal Show Scales Seats to Preserve Packed Look Despite Soft Demand

WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event in Montreal is selling into a much smaller real estate than the venue can hold: 10,761 tickets distributed with 476 remaining on a 19,585-seat map, yet only 11,237 seats are being used (over 8,000 unused) to maintain a packed TV appearance. The last WWE event at the venue used about 13,987 seats, suggesting demand may be softer than promoters hoped. The lineup includes Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu, a Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s match, and Styles vs. Nakamura. Readers are invited to share whether WWE should have promoted the show differently amid changing fan habits.

GOP Warns Members to Attend Votes as House Margin Narrows

GOP Warns Members to Attend Votes as House Margin Narrows

With a 218–213 GOP edge, House leaders have urged members to be in Washington for votes and to miss only life-or-death emergencies, a posture sharpened by recent deaths (LaMalfa) and a mid-session retirement (Greene). Absences tied to campaigns for higher office have slowed floor action, illustrating the fragility of this tiny majority as Democrats gain opportunities and discharge petitions loom. Rep. Wesley Hunt’s absences drew leadership pushback, though he returned for a key vote, and other members cite medical or family needs.
