0:36.0

us complaining of course i would like to be in there a little bit more, but this is more just based on what we've heard and based on what we've talked to people about so far. So having seen a lot, won't get to see a lot. It's part of college football nowadays, these coaches shutting these things down. But I do think we have a lot of thoughts on these questions. So we appreciate everyone getting back to us with these. Yeah, it's nice to have someone else post a question rather than you and I preparing a podcast, trying to decide what we want to talk about.

1:42.1

As you know, L.A. is tough to get around.

1:43.9

Vegas, you cannot say that.

1:45.4

Pretty easy, pretty great destination. I think they will get more fan bases out to Vegas than they will to Minneapolis

1:50.1

last year. So I love it in Indy. I think it could be in Indy every year. I will not complain

1:55.1
