You have to do it very creatively.
19:15
I mean, you hit, hit the nail on the head.
19:17
Tailgating is an important part of the culture here, certainly for NC State football, but also for the Hurricanes, and it has been for 25 years.

The, you can look back to the original runs in the playoffs in 2001 and 2002 and, and the, the hockey tailgating and the notoriety we got around Canada for that.
19:35
But it's something that we want to protect.
19:37
So our development agreement that we have with the a- authority has a specific amount of, uh, parking, event parking that we have to maintain.

It's pretty amazing.
13:19
Our season ticket fan base of people that are actually showing up night after night, not just people that maybe bought tickets and live somewhere else.
13:27
We have people from as far away as Roanoke, Virginia, Myrtle Beach, Columbia, South Carolina, Charlotte.
13:33
We really cover Richmond, Western Virginia, down into South Carolina.
13:38

13:52
The downtown arena is typical around the country and it is a lot of where new arenas and renovated arenas are.
