MVP Arena ranks 83rd venue in world for attendance
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- MVP Arena is ranked the 83rd venue in the world for attendance by Pollstar, a music industry magazine. In the United States, the arena ranks 52nd in attendance.
The ranking comes from the arena's ability to host various events, such as sports, concerts, and family-friendly entertainment, that draw dynamic audiences. MVP Arena also outranked larger markets like New Orleans, Cleveland, Columbus, Minneapolis, and more, with over $28 million generated from ticket sales.
MVP Arena officials attribute the milestone to Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy's reinvestment in the venue. The reinvestment supported upgrades to seating, technology, locker rooms, and the atrium enclosure.
"We are proud to be ranked among the top 100 venues in the world," MVP Arena General Manager Bob Belber said. "This achievement is a testament to the hard work of our team, the support of the community, and the incredible fans who fill the arena for every event."
