To say I am humbled and proud of this is an understatement. To the whole team @theindicator we are forever grateful for helping to tell our story. #somuchjoy
In the last sixteen months people have started a record number of new businesses: over six million in the US, a record high. But why now? We speak with @chrisvanjura on his business/hot dog journey and @juliaonjobs on this trend.

Paul — wish you’d reached out before writing this. Your seat is in my camera roll (receipts attached). The press box seating and tables were installed wrong — a couple of inches off the drawings, which turns out to be enough to mess up your view. Fixing it means ing the tiers, which is too big a job to do between games, so it happens after the season
That’s year one of every new stadium. You open with a punch list in the thousands and spend the first year working it off. Designed right, installed wrong, getting fixed.
One correction: there are two TVs in the press box (photo attached). They’re mounted where most of the room can’t see them — which, I’ll grant, is a strange place for TVs. Easy to miss. The front wall is nearly full-height glass, so there’s no room for them there; the options are smaller monitors up front or moving the big ones to the side walls next to your row. Which do you think works better for working media?
A little context: we opened Oct. 2 with an 8,000-item punch list. Normal for a building this size. We’ve cleared 2,000+ in six weeks. Some are simple, like door closers and paint. Others, like the press tiers, aren’t. All of it will be done before next season
Next time, reach out with your critique before publishing. I think you’ll find we’re not too busy to know what needs fixing in the press box — or to reply.

Jon Rothstein on Georgetown’s lackluster crowd support:
“Home games for Georgetown the last couple years have felt like a library during finals week.”
Maryland is expected to have a huge contingency in Capital One Arena tomorrow.

This is amazing and I’m proud of him.
For 28 years, 69-year-old Rick Taylor has gathered tickets from Cal Ripken Jr.’s 2,632-game streak spanning 1982–1998. Now only eight away, the retired salesman’s 16-box basement collection — each ticket labeled and shielded — ranks among baseball’s most notable. Taylor never ngle digits, yet he feels confident about finishing.

If talking shit, making excuses and arguing with the media made you a good basketball coach, Kevin Willard would actually be good at his job
Kevin Willard personally attacked a well-respected veteran reporter tonight for writing a story that he then essentially confirmed. inquirer.com/college-sports…
