Venue mistake: New Alhambra and Arena in Philly are the same

Post by StagHearty »

New Alhambra Arena has a record on Box Rec under "New Alhambra":

In early 2009, the name of New Alhambra Arena was changed to The Arena. The Arena has a record on BoxRec under "Arena":

The "Arena" entry on BoxRec also incorrectly assumes The Arena is the same venue as whatever Philadelphia venue was also called Arena in the 1970s, and the records are merged there. New Alhambra/The Arena has only been open since 1993, and has only been hosting boxing since 2004.

Could you please merge the New Alhambra records with the four 2009 cards at The Arena, since they're the same venue?

Or at the very least, maybe you could separate the cards held at The Arena in 2009 from the "Arena" entry and place them into a new venue entry called "The Arena".

Thanks.
