That means you have the capability to sell 160,000 seats every weekend.
And your goal is to sell 160,000 tickets every single weekend.
And so what you basically need is to make sure that it's always a great game to come watch.
And to your point that the business model is around the gate or ticket sales rather than TV, that actually stayed the case until 1977.
That was the first year that the NFL made more money from television revenue than from ticket sales.
That is a full 30 years later than the time period we are talking about here.
Well, listeners, this is a great time to thank our longtime friend of the show, Vanta, the leading agentic trust platform that helps you automate compliance and manage risk.
And David, I caught up with Christina and the Vanta team to get the latest on this one.
So listeners, you probably know that Vanta started by focusing on compliance automation, you know, helping companies get SOC 2 and ISO 27001 and GDPR and HIPAA.
Their big insight was they could build a system that would monitor all your compliance and risk continuously, not just once a year for your audit, so you can feel confident in your security posture all of the time.
But they've realized that the business they're really in is making it easier for you to earn the trust of your customers.
So when you start scaling, you end up with more compliance and more security requirements and more tools, which can get very chaotic.
And Vanta has become the always-on AI-powered security expert that scales with you.
And as they like to put it, they are the best security hire you will never have to make.
Yeah, which is why the fastest growing companies in the world like Cursor and Snowflake and Replit and Linear and Ramp and Writer use Vanta to build trust with their customers and spend 82% less time on audits.
So if your company is ready to join Vanta's now more than 14,000 customers around the globe, just head on over to vanta.com slash acquired and tell them that Ben and David sent you here in 2026 and you will get $1,000 of free credit.
