Yeah, we play in an old stadium. That's why Boise lost their affiliation with all the cuts.""And I believe if it's done right, Major League Baseball, because they control all the minor league systems right now, will put a minor league franchise back in Boise because we've got all the bells and whistles, brand new stadium, and I think AAA is that next step in our market.""Yeah, for sure.
