And what comes next is they have to approve through get the governors approval and the legislature in the state of nevada to approve this, then the taxpayers, of course, have to vote fort. So theres plenty of steps to go but theyre putting this thing on a fast track. And the reason for that is the nfl owners meet in january, and they would vote, conceivably to approve this. And they have to have, again, i repeat, 75 of the owners approval to do this unless, and i see you looking at me, ken, unless mark davis is prepared for a long legal fight, as his dad d. Well, his dad moved the team to l. A. And he didnt have the owners voting to do that, did he . Exactly right. But the point of the matter is, is he willing to do that .
