Seven major events at Acrisure Arena held over a 12-day period and branded the “Magnificent Seven” attracted nearly 57,000 people hailing from all 50 U.S. states, as well as Canada and Mexico, officials said Wednesday.
The “Magnificent Seven” events were Paul McCartney’s “Got Back” tour on Sept. 29, The Who’s final North American show “The Song is Over” tour on Oct. 1, the Los Angeles Lakers pre-season game with the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 3, Blink-182’s two sold-out nights on the “Missionary Impossible” tour on Oct. 4 and 5, Maroon 5 on Oct. 8, and the Coachella Valley Firebirds home opener on Oct. 10.
During the stretch, 56,981 people entered the arena, with 2.82 people entering the venue every minute, officials said. There were 487 stagehands who worked more than 2,400 labor hours. The events involved the use of 349,341 pounds of rigging, rivaling the weight of a Boeing 747.
More 14,000 gallons of water were used to create the ice sheet for hockey.
Additionally, about 31 tons of trash were collected, with 15 tons of material diverted to recycling, and about 8.5 tons of food were sold.
“The Magnificent Seven was a remarkable achievement and a true testament to the incredible crew that worked tirelessly to make each show an unforgettable experience for our guests, as well as the performers, their crew and athletes,” John Page, senior vice president of Acrisure Arena and the Coachella Valley Firebirds, said in a statement.
Notable acts in the upcoming months will include Palomazo Norteno, Christian Nodal, Tate McRae and the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
