Okay, I have to ask you a question, Casey, because I saw this story on ESPN and we don't do a lot of sports on the show unless it has

0:07.5

societal impact and implications and apparently yesterday. There was a volleyball game. Yeah, that is the key word here. A volleyball game. Yes. At the University of Nebraska in Omaha

0:20.8

that had 92,000 and three fans attend the game. Yeah, it's a lot. It was an outdoor game too. It looks like they had it in the football stadium. Yes.

0:30.0

A football, it was at the football stadium and it is the largest women's sports event in terms of attendance ever. Apparently, and I had no idea about this until I saw this article.

0:42.9

volleyball is huge in the state of Nebraska. Apparently with 92,000 three people filling memorial stadium for their match and they put all sorts of effort into this. This is a long build up.

0:58.5

To get 92,000 and three people do attend the previous record for a woman's sporting event was 91,648. It was April of last year in Barcelona, Spain for a soccer match. Did I say that right? It's a match, right? Yeah.

1:14.3

Match. Kyleen is in here today and she will be very angry if I get that wrong because she plays soccer. And so it blew this out of the water. And I'm sitting there watching this going.

1:26.0

They got 92,000 and three people to go see people play volleyball. What's the population of the entire state of Nebraska? Probably not much more than 92,000 and three. Right. Okay. So

1:38.8

what the capacity for this stadium is only 85,000 so they so they won't well over capacity standing room only. Well, clearly they reconfigured obviously the stadium to fit this soccer match or it's a volleyball match. It's also a match for volleyball too, right? Yes.

1:54.4

Now, here's what also blew my mind. So the tickets were originally priced at $25 for general admission adults.

2:02.3

$5 for high school students and younger. So if you were a college kid, then you had to pay adult price. So it doesn't appear that there was any discount if you're a University of Nebraska student or whatever.

2:17.5

The secondary market sold for as much as $400. Wow. So if you got a ticket for $25 depending on where it was, you could have conceivably

2:29.9

resold that even though there were 92,000 to three people. This is how hot this ticket was for $400 and made a gargantuan profit. So two parted question Casey. Okay. Number one, what's the largest attended event you've ever been at in person. Okay.

2:44.6

And number two, what's the most stupid amount of money you've paid you've paid to attend something in person? Largest event probably would have been a football game at the big house University of

2:56.3

Oh, yes. Is that no true name? Yeah. Okay. So yeah. Was this like recent? Yeah, it's a couple years. Okay. Yeah. And what is Michigan's always over a hundred thousand in a single game. It sells out every game.

3:08.3

The they create like noise records and stuff. That's how many people go. Um, how was it? Oh, it was fun. I mean, I had never been to the big house. It was the first time there. So that was fun.

3:20.4

Did you look around and say, oh, my gosh, look at all these people. I can you tell from the stadium? Oh, yeah, sometimes it's hard to tell based on the, you know, schematics of a stadium. Yeah, whatever. Okay, comparatively to Notre Dame Stadium. Yes, you definitely can tell. All right. So very good. Thank you for that. Now what is the most amount of money you've ever paid to attend an in person event?

3:39.2

Um, paid a little bit to see Notre Dame. Do you remember when Notre Dame was in the National Championship game against Alabama? I think that are you calling that a game that was more of like an exhibition, which was over three minutes in. Yeah, we paid some money to go down to that game. But I'm also including the hotel and the airfare in that

3:58.3

Okay. All right. Not only was the ticket for the game, but it was the entire because I think it was a son. Is it called son stadium? Was this in was this in Florida? Yeah. Okay. Um, and who they they lost big time. So that was. Did you feel ripped off?

4:11.6

Yes. Yes. Okay. Over under five figures all in. Under. Yeah, under under you were under five figures all in the whole thing. Okay, that's

4:22.2

bad. But that's still. Yeah. I mean to watch the team get their ass beat. Well, and you also have to consider the vacation time that was taken. So take time off work, fly down there, get a hotel room, pay for the tickets, go to the game, and watch them completely lose.

4:35.8

I mean, Kev could have just come over to your house and beat you between the eyes of the building. Right. That would have been just as much fun and a lot less expensive. That's when the love affair with Brian Kelly ended. Yeah, that was not that was not good. Yeah, what what about you?
