00:08this game-changing venue has grossed over 450 million dollars and sold 1.35 million tickets

00:17for 83 shows. With 420 million of that generated in 2024 alone, this is the biggest one-year gross

00:27for any venue in Voxcore history. And it's the first time that any venue has ever grossed more

00:33than 300 million in a single year. It has hosted two of the year's top 10 rock touring acts,

00:40U2 and Dead and Company. And while this venue demands superstar headliners that can dream big

00:48and invest big in those dreams, it continues to push the boundaries of what a live music
