The $208 was after it paid out alot of refunds. There were refunds in 2024 too but not as much. I would say the baselines without refunds is about $227-230 starting in 2023

Taxable sales across the CIDs

The landing will stay above $2m per Q for entire 2026. I have some preliminary data for Q1 2026 from a few people down there

always enjoy seeing this data. What's you take on why BPV was up so much 24 to 25?

I assume it's mostly the opening of Katie's Pizza

$13M in pizza alone?  I mean, Katie's is good, but not $13M good. LOL

Katie’s BPV does around $10m a year

I certainly don't have a better reason why BPV was up $13M those years but *any* restaurant in *any* city doing $10M in business is exceedingly rare and I am skeptical that Katie's did that.  No matter, I fully believe Katie's is the main driver of most of that $13M delta.  great to see the YOY bump and I hope we see 2026 end up in a good spot.

When Busch is sold out, Katie’s does about $70,000 during that day. Now Busch hasn’t been sold out a lot lately but it doesn’t change the dynamic much. The window for Katie’s on a night game is still 5-7pm and it’s capacity and throughput in the same if it’s 45,000 at Busch or 25,000 and its capacity is much lower than that 25,000 number, while it will definitely do less biz but it’s not as of a fall off from 45,000 person game as you would expect

So, in the perfect scenario of 45K at all Cards home games in 2025, $70,000 x 81 home dates = $5.67M.  where's the other $4.33M?  All the fans from the Post Malone and Jelly Roll concert?   I could see it, they *look* like they like pizza.  

DB, as downtown's PR guy who love throwing around data (that I too enjoy), I respectfully ask that you look even more closely at that $13M.  Katie's and what?

There are other 284 days in a year…..there was no cardinals in town Monday to yesterday but there was 20,000 people for a convention and probably another 5,000 for work travel, 11,000 residents, 59,000 workers  and believe it or not people from Lafayette sq and soulard and metro east do come to BPV on a random day to get dinner

BPV has also leaned heavily into small concerts and its club nightlife with Ava

To note; Union station was at about $100m revenue in 2025 but sales tax was only applicable to $79m
