Re: Stadium Upgrades

I don't love the idea of building a third deck up on the east side, as suggested in the rendering from 2022...if we do need to add seats as most of you agree we do, they can't be less desirable seats than the inventory that we already struggle to sell today. The easiest sell, which there were plans ...

Re: Does it add up? I hope so.

Their market also is the entire state of Wyoming, they're...
