Acrisure Arena Hails Two-Week `Magnificent Seven' Run of Events

PALM DESERT (CNS) - 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 today.
  

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.
