seating limits on shows during the first six months of the year prevented the Arena from hitting the 100,000 visitor benchmark .
“ Justin Moore talked about us on his podcast , Kevin Costner loved our catering set up so much he took pictures , and Nelly ’ s management sent me an amazing email about how we had reminded them why they love the business so much .” Balla added when asked to recollect on the previous year .
But even while taking a moment to reflect on what ’ s been accomplished so far , Balla is already gearing up for what is to come .
“ BUSY !!! ,” Balla wrote when asked what 2022 looked like for the Corbin Arena . “ When our first show hits on Jan . 7th , we don ’ t take a break until June ,” she added , also noting she was already working on some “ really fun ” shows for the second half of 2022 . On Monday , Balla wrote on
Facebook that the Arena was on track to do $ 1 million in gross ticket sales in January 2022 .
“ The biggest month in Arena history ,” reads her post .
In February 2022 , the Arena witnessed its fastest sellout ever as Snoop Dogg was announced to perform at the venue on May 7 .
Of course , none of the Corbin Arena ’ s record-breaking success would be possible without the support of the local community . And for that , Balla said she and her staff were continuously grateful and looking forward to providing even more amazing entertainment in 2022 .
