5 North American stadiums the UFC should target for future events

#2. UFC Dallas: AT&T Stadium

Hosting an event at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, would shatter all UFC attendance records. The 100,000+ seat stadium serves as the home for the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL.

The possibilities would be endless for the promotion should they put plans into motion for a massive stadium event. Due to the size of the stadium, the promotion would want to have as close to full capacity as possible. With that in mind, no ordinary fight should headline the event, and so, an event at the AT&T Stadium sould most likely need someone like Conor McGregor to headline the event.

‘The Notorious’ is their biggest star and would garner plenty of interest. Since International Fight Week is usually held in July, perhaps December could be a great month to target an event. It could serve as the final pay-per-view event of the year and allow the promotion to advertise the following year’s plans. They can take advantage of their largest audience and hopefully see interest carry over to the next calendar year.

#1. UFC Vegas: Allegiant Stadium

The UFC has always been a fixture in Las Vegas, Nevada. With their presence in the city, it would be fitting if they hosted one of their biggest events at the Allegiant Stadium.

The stadium seats 65,000 people and could be expandable to well over 70,000. The annual International Fight Week event would be ideal should the promotion host an event at this stadium. Eventually, the UFC should consider hosting their annual event at the Allegiant Stadium instead of the T-Mobile Arena.

The Allegiant Stadium being a much larger venue would add a big fight feel to their International Fight Week pay-per-views. It could also turn into an annual tourist attraction. The added attention could have a massive financial impact on the promotion going forward. International Fight Week and the following pay-per-view event could even have a similar impact like WWE's WrestleMania.
