The arena, a fine addition to the area’s musical landscape, is framing its first anniversary celebration around Tony Bennett’s performance tonight. Special guests will mark the occasion with champagne and black-and-gold cupcakes before the performance.
It has been an impressive launch for the arena, which has booked a slate of acts ranging from Brooks & Dunn to Elton John and Duran Duran. in that time, the arena racked up $2.1 million in sales, a 200,000 attendance mark and a top-ranking among 10,000-seat venues in Florida.
Bennett should be marvelous, as he was in March at Hard Rock Live. Here’s a link to my review of that recent Orlando show. Congratulations to the UCF Arena.
