  • · Stand up 3 recurring franchises around the 41 home dates (pre / live / post).
  • · Build a Phoenix/AZ civic lane — local commerce converts before national does.
Days 61–90 · Monetize
  • · Package 82 events into a season sponsor tier at the modeled band.
  • · Route athlete-channel inventory into the shared rev-share ledger.
  • · Re-score at day 90; target +3.6 TVS on the next pull.
