Like, you are conflating, hey, this isn't quite as big a deal as it once was with...
It's nothing.
I don't need it at all.
And that's not the case.
Dan, if you look across every single major sport, two things are true.
Number one, average ticket prices are higher than they've ever been.
Number two, the customer experience is way more extravagant than it's ever been.
You can't tell me even 10 years ago the things that we see as common in all these stadiums across the country were common 10 years ago.
It's not true.
The existence of the TV rights money and whatever, streaming money, whatever you want to call that, does not devalue the in-game experience.
Otherwise, we would do what a G League team did about 20 years ago, which is, hey, we're going to have like 100 seats.
We're going to sell the 100 seats for an extraordinary luxurious experience at a high dollar amount, and we don't care about having an in-arena crowd experience.
That's not happening in any of the sports.
And so Samson and Skipper can say that because, yes, this thing is getting bigger, but it's like saying, hey, now that I have $500, I don't care about this $100 bill.
Can I be me maximum here and ask, is this going to affect me getting to the airport?
You're saying the one hole is in the tight end?
Greg likes it.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Not in journalism, though.
Like microscopically small.
