A bomb squad reported finding chemical substances while taking the 19-year-old into custody at his home. Investigators are working to determine if they could be used to make a bomb.
The pair reportedly had detailed plans on how the attack would unfold.
Before the cancellation, the concerts were expected to draw 65,000 fans a day, with another 10,000 to 15,000 outside the arena.
The alleged terror plot comes after three children died after a stabbing attack in the U.K. during a Taylor Swift-themed class for kids.
Swift said the stabbings left her in “shock” and she was “at a complete loss of how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”
