Is it more money?

Demand goes own with charging admission. And you have added expenses of hiring people and I assume minor construction. Whatever the net net it won't be poppycock in regards to the expense of real capital improvements that are being proposed. Like every other sport not called football it isnt about making a penny, it is only about deciding how much you're willing to lose on each sport every year. I like our Olympic sports but im not blind that they are a financial drain, that won't begin to be solved by anything but huge gifts from wealthy individuals, that may not exist.

Let me know when you get to $20-25 million of season ticket commitments
Vippie1 05/18/26 03:40 PM ET
I’d give much more than $200 for season tickets. I know I’m not alone.
