There will be no private DMs. People want transparency and accountability so we’re going do this right here in public. You can start by apologizing to all impacted and then reimburse them all of their expenses with extra flight credit/money for the trouble caused.

I’ve been enjoying all the “just discovering American stadiums” posts recently What everyone’s really noticing is the “luxury turn” in US stadium design. Everything has gotten much more premium and upscale The old theory was to put as many seats as possible in a stadium, and make revenue with scale. The new strategy has been to actually reduce the number of available seats (college stadiums work a bit differently, I’m talking about the pro level here) but substantially increase the spend per seat. Much more space is dedicated to high end experiences and amenities, and everything is much more stratified. The top end especially has rocketed away in terms of both pricing and services on offer. The old “box seat” tier now seems practically primeval; some stadiums now offer hot tubs, pools, you name it In terms of food and drink, the millennial food revolution has not missed US stadiums either. The old “hot dog and Cracker Jack” staples are long past. Now you’ve got dozens of craft beers on tap, artisanal food, third wave coffee, Michelin starred chefs. Just a totally different universe of possibilities As for the architecture, that too has been entirely transformed. There’s much more emphasis on scale and spectacle. The audio systems are much more elaborate and cinematic. The screens are IMAX quality and size - or beyond. The acoustics are an entire science in and of themselves: how sound will be channeled from the field and up is modeled by software above any design is approved (the Intuit Dome is an excellent recent example of this). If you haven’t paid attention to how all this has changed over the last few decades, it will really impress you. The experiential impact of it - to say nothing of the pricing - is considerable
