probably would be lower but so would the quality. players already experience lifelong head injuries from the limited play already. imagine 4 to 5 games a week.

Probably both but also the availability as well. If you're from Kansas City and want to catch a royals game, you have 81 opportunities when your team is playing at home. You have loads of chances. If you're trying to catch a chiefs game, you only have 8 or 9 for the regular season. I am surpried the NBA doesnt have more seats though. Would have thought they'd be in the 30k+ range.

Reply to if our sun is the size of an atom, how big would UY Scuti be in comparison? by Major-Apricot69
quickly googling. UY Scuti, if placed in our solar system would be be larger than the orbit of Jupiter.
scaling it down to a better example. if the sun was a regulation basketball, UY scuti would roughly be a quarter of a mile in diameter.

there is. from the route I took from the hotel, there is a winding road up with walking paths as well (to shorten the distance) but it is a long ways up. if you're into hiking and want to make the trek up, all the power to you. Will take a couple of hours still if my memory is correct. But the bigger issue is the altitude. I lived my entire life at sea level. When I was in Peru, I stayed in Cuzco for a couple days, exploring various incan sites in the area before taking a train to go visit Machu Picchu. Breathing was INCREDIBLY difficult for me while I was there and I'm not in poor shape. Literally was winded walking down the street the first day. If you're not accustomed to living a mile or two in the air, you might have similar problems.

if you go, make it to the top super early. The view with the early morning fog is absolutely amazing. If you are taking a bus up to the top, plan on getting in line at like 2 am. Its can get super crowded.

the unemployment rate in the US is like 4%. according to the statistics, they have a 4-5% unemployment rate. not that weird.
