“The visuals for each singer at the ACM awards were amazing! However, the seats were not very comfortable. If you had to use the restroom you could only leave and/or come back during commercials. Attendees were asked to dress semi formal country attire. Some dressed up beautifully but others dressed very casual. The atmosphere was just not as elegant as it was last year in Frisco, Texas.”

Just attended the Premier Boxing Championship Event featuring Manny Pacquiao and Mario Barrios. It was a fun filled event with a great card. The ease of getting in and out of the event was great.
