We’ve wanted to hold an Education Day for a while, but had to work on the logistics to make it a reality, and today we exceeded all expectations. We’re constantly trying to think of ways to help fans create memories when they come to one of our events. Today, 1,200 students walked out of SimpliFi Arena with a great memory!
