I mean, I think there was a lot of investment things that were that were happening downtown.

But to your point, it's like the Tigers being good, like when your baseball team is good, that is a different type of renaissance that the city will see because you have more opportunities to be in that area.

You know, you're talking about 160, you know, two game schedule.

You got 80 home games.

So that's 80 opportunities for people to be downtown, as opposed to, say, the Lions who are playing eight or nine home games and then that's it.

or even the Pistons who are playing like 40 something games.

And that renaissance, that turnaround only happened in the last two years.

But I think really what started all of it was just people understanding the business opportunity.

Detroit has a beautiful riverfront that borders Canada.

Like we can get to Canada in 10 minutes.

And so that property has always been bought up.

But it started with the investment from Dan Gilbert, from Mike Illich, from a lot of really big business leaders that are in the Detroit community.

And it spun into what we see now.

And now that the sports teams are good, it's like it's all kind of clicking together finally at the same time.

How does Detroit compare, care about the Pistons right now compared to the Lions?

I mean, listen, people are obsessed with the Pistons, but I mean, the Lions are kind of the number one team in town.

I mean, because again, that's a town, that's a team the whole state loves, right, is the Lions.

And I think because the futility has been so much longer with the Lions, that them being good is always going to be the number one story.

The Pistons is an incredible story, especially seeing where the Pistons were just three years ago.

And to see where they are now, the city has certainly embraced Kay Cunningham hard.
