>> There's really no such thing as a typical day but that's what I really love about it.
Depending on the time of year whether we're in season or we're out of season,
that a lot of times dictate where our focus is.
I love the fact that there are always new things coming up and I also
like the idea of we get to start fresh.
Every year the beginning and the end of the season have the same kind of feelings for me;
excitement for both of them and also the challenges that are to come with both of them.
The biggest challenge I think is that you know we're running a small business
and our challenges are not unlike any other small business owner.
And sometimes, especially fans in our case, a lot of times forget that.
Because we're viewed in the media as a major partner in the community,
we're a local sports team that a lot of fans love to come out and watch;
it can sometimes be forgotten that we are a small business
and we've got the same challenges trying to you know balance a budget, drive sales,
find creative ways to drive new business, and do all that with limited expenses.
So I think certainly we're not unlike any other small business when it comes
to building our business over the course of X number of years,
but also having to you know rely on the local economy and the other things
that are going to impact you as a business.
