Michael Marion, general manager of North Little Rock’s Verizon Arena.
We’re officially calling it an unofficial record, but that’s only because the numbers are unaudited.
North Little Rock’s Verizon Arena set a new revenue record last year: $7.84 million.
You might recall that Michael Marion, general manager of the events center, told us back in July that 2016 would be a record-setting year for the 18,000-seat venue.
The previous high-water mark for revenue was $7.2 million in 2015.
Will 2017 push the bar higher?
In a word, no.
“Last year was phenomenal, but in your standard deviation, you have to return to the norm,” Marion said.
The April 30 concert by Paul McCartney topped the one-day shows at Verizon Arena last year.
The legendary performer drew an electric gathering of 15,624.
