I don't see how they can bypass Boston. It was really one of the cities that brought them up through the ranks. I have a feeling there will be more announcements and frankly, they are in the hole financially with postponments that it would make sense to get in all that they can. I hope I'm right. I'll be at the Meadowlands on July 20th, can't wait.

Excellent summary. Thanks. I'm keeping my hopes up for Baltimore and
I wish others who are still in "hope" mode the best of luck.
