The listing has garnered a huge response, with all available dates for the next two months selling out in under 24 hours. The Airbnb rental has given the stadium roughly $40,000 in revenue to keep its employees on the payroll. Griffith said that the stadium is coordinating with the teams who practice there to figure out when to add more dates in August and July.
"We're holding off right now to open up those dates until we have more of a clear vision of that," Griffith said. "But we are opening up in October, November, and they're filling up really, really fast."
