This week, Arum met with developers who will be in charge of constructing a stadium (with a capacity of 38,000 for Pacquiao’s next assignment) in Las Vegas on Spring Mountain Road and Las Vegas Blvd. at the site of the long gone Frontier Hotel.
“It’s fine,” Arum said on Thursday. “We have the plans and everything is ready to go.”
This structure will harken back to the makeshift arenas that staged fights in this city back in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Don’t expect any luxury suites or anything of that sort. This won’t be Cowboys Stadium.
“There will be no amenities in the stadium but it’s a big, big area. There will be concession stands and so forth and Porta-Potties and everything but the stadium itself will be like the stadiums that we had- and this is the same guy that built those stadiums in Caesars Palace, in the Mirage - and it doesn’t have any amenities inside but plenty of amenities around it,” said Arum. “There will be room for a big area for fans and there’s a 2,400 [car] parking garage and so I’m very confident it will be perfect. And then we get by June and if there’s a big fight in November, then we can get a bubble over it to enclose it.”
