What did they mean by that?

Yeah, so basically it was set up, it was hosted by the World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

It was at Lynn Family Stadium.

And I kind of put on my reporter hat for a night and went out there.

And basically Greg Fonte, who was moderating, he heads up the Louisville Sports Commission, said, laid out how they sort of sealed the deal on USA Gymnastics trials coming here in 2028, which is a pretty huge deal in the sports world.

So according to Greg – and some of this is in the article.

Some didn't quite make it, but it came down to them and the Twin Cities area, speaking of Minnesota – And they said, you know, you're really close.

Any other takeaways from that event?

there um yeah yeah man you guys are uh you're hitting the the late night stuff too that's crazy good for y'all all right so yeah so these are put on by danny wimmer presents and uh danny wimmer they've locked in these festivals for a while now and as well some other business in town right

Yeah, I think this was year one of the 10-year contract, or maybe next year is.

But regardless, they signed a 10-year lease agreement for the Expo Center.

I wrote about it last year when they signed it with details on how much they're paying for rent and all that stuff.

So at least contractually, a decade more of those two festivals in town, which is great.

If you multiply that $40 billion, which will probably only go up by 10, you're soon looking at half a billion dollars of economic impact there.

You know, beyond the great visibility for the city.

Yeah.
