Within the month, the coliseum set a record with its highest-grossing combat sports event ever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The venue also saw more than 33,000 guests throughout the month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disney on Ice: Road Trip Adventures attracted a majority of May&#8217;s visitors, the Sports Commission said. During the <a href=\"https:\/\/kvia.com\/news\/top-stories\/2026\/05\/07\/disney-on-ice-makes-pit-stop-in-el-paso-for-road-trip-adventures-tour\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">May 6-10 performances<\/a>, 21,371 people watched some of Disney&#8217;s iconic characters take over the coliseum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ice skating spectacular generated $674,076 in ticket sales revenue, officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a highly anticipated rematch between boxers Stephanie Han and Holly Holm, the coliseum generated $610,990 in ticket revenue, officials said. The match marked the highest-grossing and best-selling combat sports event in the coliseum&#8217;s history. The Sports Commission said 7,225 people watched as <a href=\"https:\/\/kvia.com\/news\/2026\/05\/30\/stephanie-han-defeats-holly-holm-by-majority-decision-han-retains-wba-lightweight-title\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Han defeated Holm<\/a>, retaining her WBA lightweight title.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boxing event made more than a local impact. The sports commission said 21% of the event&#8217;s tickets were bought outside the El Paso market. With national recognition, the match drove economic activity through hotel stays, dining, transportation and retail in the area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cazzu, an Argentine rapper and singer, drew a sold-out performance of 4,734 fans, the Sports Commission said. Her performance generated $260,020.50 in ticket sales revenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of ticketed events, the coliseum provided a space for local programs and events throughout May, including car seat safety checks and art markets. The Sports Commission said local programming wasn&#8217;t included in the revenue and attendance data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The success of May 2026 reflects the Coliseum&#8217;s continued role as the Borderland&#8217;s premier entertainment and community gathering destination,&#8221; said Janet Vargas, President for the El Paso Sports Commission. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) &#8212; The El Paso County Coliseum made more than $1.5 million in ticket sales&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[106603,138,9224,140,139,147102],"class_list":["post-422721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-el-paso","tag-county-coliseum","tag-el-paso","tag-el-paso-county-coliseum","tag-el-paso-headlines","tag-el-paso-news","tag-el-paso-sports-commission"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
