BrookeHOST
Wait, hold on.

Centralized production? So the Jackets aren't just playing for the crowd at Nationwide Arena anymore? They're playing for the ESPN audience too?
TonyHOST
Precisely.
TonyHOST
The league is producing these games directly for a team fighting for a wildcard spot that increased visibility raises the stakes.
Justin BaschHOST
So the Big Ten Conference said, you know what? We want conference championships to be a neutral site.
Justin BaschHOST
So then they announced that this year's neutral site for the Big Ten Championships is the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
Justin BaschHOST
That is not a neutral site.
Justin BaschHOST
And that's fine.
Justin BaschHOST
I'm okay with conference championships being in a campus town.
Justin BaschHOST
Why not just have it at Ohio State? What the hell is the point of putting a nationwide arena to be quote unquote a neutral arena?
Willie SaylorHOST
Okay, here's my gripe with it.
Willie SaylorHOST
And I had this in the show notes, too, because I think it's goofy.
Pat MurphyHOST
this, like, permanent billboard off the side of the freeway, and then another one that's one of those that changes that also advertise for the Galaxy.
Pat MurphyHOST
Like, where is that in Columbus? Other than, like, right by Nationwide Arena, where they have that one, like, vertical, like, screen that changes, and it advertises for the new women's team, and it advertises for the Blue Jackets, and basically anything that happens in the Arena District.
Pat MurphyHOST
Like, I think you need to be out there reminding people... hey, even when we're not good, this is a good time to come out and things like that.
Pat MurphyHOST
And the Nordic is just a microcosm of this that I'm a little worried about.
Richie RichHOST
Well, I don't know if that's a real one, but you get the idea.
RileyHOST
Nationwide Arena.
Richie RichHOST
Okay.
Richie RichHOST
Yeah.

Nationwide.
JD RaderHOST
Nationwide is On Your Side.
Christian PylesHOST
Uh, I...
Christian PylesHOST
No, but it's not a every year thing.
Christian PylesHOST
It's not locked in at Nationwide Arena.
JD RaderHOST
That's where the Blue Jackets play?
