Quote of the Day

A lot of what we talk about is actually the league, so it’s not just specific to our team. Whether it’s looking at the calendar, player welfare, charter flights, there’s just a constant dialogue. The common thread here is that we see opportunity, opportunity to get better, opportunity to grow revenue, grow our fans.
