Yeah, it's amazing.

I mean, Pittsburgh is just one of those cities.

It's very easy to fall in love with.

Kenny Wood from the start was incredible.

I feel like there's been multiple times where we've just run into whether it be someone at the hotel, someone at the restaurant, at the tap room, down there at the Omni, like the accent needs to be known more.

All those games were up over 100% from the year before.

I think the Pens got over 2 million people.
