You want the brand new stadium?

So, Dan, you said something that I got to push back on.

Oh, the stadium experience doesn't matter.

And I would say, no, it does matter because that's the stuff you don't have to share.

You share the revenues, obviously, on the national TV deals.

You share the revenues on your local TV deals.

That doesn't apply in MLS because it's all through Apple TV.

But even in the major four sports,

attendance is still a huge lifeline.

One of the parts about the move to shorten an NBA schedule, the big obstacle is because owners don't want to give up those home dates because if you look at it, there's a way to do it where the national TV people don't lose any games.

You can have the same number of national TV games, which means same amount of inventory, same amount of rights deals, money,

but the local deal is the one that will get the haircut, that's not the part where people are saying no, or the owners are saying no.

They say no because, hey, that's concessions, that's parking, that's how many million dollars they generate every single home game.

It's still a huge lifeline for all the major sports.

They're not worth as much as the streaming dollars, the TV rights deals.

But they're still worth something.

You're making it into an absolutism.

Like, oh, because we have this money.

I'm doing it because of the pandemic and how it is they were able to do sports without us in the stadiums.

That's not how it's happening, right?
