This whole situation was very complicated ... It takes time. Quite honestly, in my mind, everybody was wondering how it took so long to get the team sold. In the world of sports, I feel like we got it done fairly quick. From the very beginning, Dave and his group was best suited for St. Louis out of all the buyers. I always thought that. When we had the exclusive period with them, it didn't quite get done. But luckily, it circled back around, and on the second go, we did get it done.
