Treat the flagship 70-foot, steel-roofed cage as the aspirational build, not the typical one — most hosts list a simpler net-and-frame setup. Realistic booking volume in most places that allow paying customers at all clusters low: a few sessions a week, not a fully booked facility. Where a family pursues an actual special-exception or conditional-use permit, the approving board typically sets the visit cap itself as a condition of approval — a real process, not a formality, but also not a wall.
