Reports have said the league is in trouble. How have you guys managed to buck the trend?

I would dispute that the league is in trouble. Anyone who wants to dispute that should look at the eight-year contract we’ve signed with ESPN. I don’t think we’re going anywhere. Our attendance is 11,658 currently. That’s league-leading. We do that through promotion, theme, initiative after initiative. You name it, we do it. We’re convinced that once someone sees the product up close and personal, they’re going to be converted to fans.
