Can you guys give us a little bit of impact of sports? You gave us a little bit of youth sports, but what is your economic impact and what is your economic impact? I'm sure you have numbers all over, but can you give the audience and the listeners of this podcast, what is the economic impact to these sporting events to town?

varies from event by event.

If you're talking about like the NCAA wrestling championships, which we have coming up in March, that's probably a $20 million event or so.

We did the NCAA Frozen Four, which approached that amount.

That was spring of 2025.

We just submitted a bid for the Rugby World Cup for 2031.

Rugby will tell you.

We need $20 million.

What do you think ultimately, I think, tipped it in your favor? And then at the same time, like, what are you most excited about?

We're ecstatic.

Th- this, it's, um, it's such a wonderful thing for St. Louis to have the marathon trials coming.

It's such a great fit.

And, you know, the, the question of what put it over the top, I mean, obviously I'd, I'd, I'd wanna have Max and, and others answer that, but we were very proud of the bid we submitted.

And what I'd like to think rises to the top is the story and the vision that we had for the even- we have for the event.

And that's everything from our Olympic legacy, which is very meaningful to our community.

I guess, what are you guys doing, um, differently maybe this time around, or building, you know, with the local organizing community a- to, I guess, like, have the funding to really pull this off?
