Well, good to talk to you, Arden.
Now, I'm going to have to ask a clarifying question to your question.
Are you saying as a media member or as, you know, as a fan, as someone who loves baseball and just wants to experience the vibes of the building?
Because my answer would be different depending on how you want to frame your question.
From a fan perspective on the 20 to 80 scale, I would probably put it at, let's say a 40 below average.
I think the vibes are not that great.
Now you do get the guarantee of a game being played because the roof is on, it is attached, it is looking stable.
That is what we love to see here.
And, you know, it's you certainly are going to have a good access because there aren't a ton of fans here.
So you're going to have a good view.
You're going to be able to see what's happening.
But I just think you're not going to come close to the ambience.
Now, from a media perspective, everything operates smoothly.
You don't have weather delays and it's.
very comfortable and actually somewhat quieter than some of the ballparks that you go to, like a Dodger Stadium or a Chase Field.
And so I actually find it a little easier to just kind of lock in on the game.
But I think from a fan standpoint, there are many, many ballparks that I would recommend visiting from an ambiance perspective ahead of this one.
You know, Arden, you'll be shocked to know that in fact, there is not that much support and this team is good, but it is, it's, it's remarkable.
