Uh Wow! As stated in my post, my data was simply observations while talking to various teams at the two events I volunteered at. I'm not representing all teams in my comments. I'm not a member of any RPC or any PC, just a voluenter. Also I hardly would call the Albany and Columbus Arenas "lavish". In any case, the hostility in your post is a bit shocking and lacking in GP IMHO. I was just trying to provide another opinion.
