in 15 years, so this is obviously progress. And honestly, I think with the current momentum, we could have sold another 10,000 seats for some of these big games. It helps that the tailgating has gone to whole other level with Grange Grove and Lot 31.  Previous Message
That being said, the atmosphere has been pretty incredible, the likes we haven't consistently seen since the mid 1980s. Great weather has helped as well.
