Court records show organizers now expect around 125,000 attendees, while another 75,000 people requested tickets.<\/p>\n<p>To accommodate them, planners have arranged for as many as 494 portable toilets across the White House grounds and the nearby Ellipse.<\/p>\n<p>The more than $60 million price tag covers production, construction, labor, promotion, and food, according to a sworn statement from White House management and administration director Joshua Fisher.<\/p>\n<p>Since construction began on May 20, between 20 and 30 trucks loaded with staging equipment have been screened daily before entering the heavily secured grounds. <\/p>\n<p>The build has required between 700 and 900 subcontractors with \u201cspecialized knowledge associated with each element of the build,\u201d Fisher said.<\/p>\n<p>The centerpiece is UFC\u2019s Octagon, which was erected on the South Lawn alongside massive lighting rigs, bleacher seating, broadcast infrastructure, and a giant lighting structure known as \u201cthe Claw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1176\">Why Trump\u2019s Blatant Grift Will Cost Him Dearly: MS NOW Anchor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While UFC is footing the bill, the federal government is providing security, law enforcement, and emergency medical support. At least seven federal agencies have devoted resources and manpower to the undertaking, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>The disclosures came as the administration fights a legal challenge from two Virginia residents who argue federal landmarks should not be used for what they describe as a private, for-profit sporting spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>The pair also contend the UFC card is really a celebration of Trump\u2019s 80th birthday rather than America\u2019s 250th anniversary and therefore should not qualify for exemptions from certain environmental and permitting requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department has urged a judge to throw out the lawsuit, accusing the plaintiffs of trying to \u201cruin an event designed to celebrate the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to the Daily Beast, a Justice Department spokesperson dismissed the case as \u201ca desperate last-ditch attempt to attack the celebration of America\u2019s 250th Birthday by people who hate fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Trump administration official similarly called the lawsuit \u201cobstructionist, baseless, and dilatory,\u201d telling the Daily Beast the event would become \u201cone of the most historic sporting events in our Nation\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the filings, the temporary arena and its infrastructure will begin coming down Monday morning and are expected to be gone by June 23.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>For one weekend, however, the White House will effectively become the world\u2019s most expensive UFC venue.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1174\">Trump Launches \u2018Massive\u2019 Leak Hunt After Humiliating Revelations<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New court filings reveal the eye-watering cost of Donald Trump\u2019s White House UFC birthday extravaganza.
