Crews at the White House are preparing for a UFC Freedom 250 event scheduled for June 14th, celebrating the nation’s 250th and President Donald Trump’s 80th birthdays.
Described as a “construction zone eyesore,” The Daily Beast reports two cranes are constructing a metal arch for lighting over the UFC stage near the Executive Residence.
As of Monday the White House, “began looking more like an oversized event venue,” added the Daily Beast.
In addition, UFC CEO Dana White expressed concern about a gnat infestation threatening the large-scale event.
During a Boardroom podcast appearance, White described dining in the recently reopened Rose Garden, noting the substantial number of gnats.
He called his production team to discuss the “gnat situation,” warning that the lighting grid’s power would attract moths, gnats, and other insects. White also suggested surrounding the venue with fans to mitigate the bug problem, as “gnats have a hard time in the wind,” he explained.
