64 times the Hawks have ventured down to Launceston over the past 21 seasons.
49 times they have returned to Melbourne with a win.
It's a winning rate well and truly above the club's record at any other venue in history - 76.6 per cent.
Waverley Park is next at 66 per cent, but the last time Hawthorn graced that ground for premiership points, 12 players currently listed with the Hawks weren't yet born.
Hawthorn first played in Tasmania in Round 6 2001, overcoming Adelaide by 13 points in a performance that would epitomise the club's fortunes over the next two decades.
Key area on the improve, now onto the next one
The club made one appearance in the state in that inaugural year, then two outings per season over the next four, three in 2006, then four from 2007 and beyond.
Something just clicked in the partnership from the very beginning; despite the club winning just 60 of its 141 games between 2001 and mid-2007, it won 10 of its 14 games in Tasmania over the same time period.
This was all before one of the most dominant runs at a venue in modern football history.
Between Round 12 2010 and Round 19 2016, Hawthorn won 26 of its 27 appearances in Launceston, including a 19-game success streak.
It wasn't simply the consistency of result that made that run so impressive, but the power in which they generated those results.
Over that 27-match timeframe, the Hawks' average score was 116.3 points with an average winning margin of over 53 points.
Calling the venue a 'happy hunting ground' for the club was almost putting it lightly.
This Sunday the Hawks return to Tasmania celebrating an incredible 21-year partnership with the state.
University of Tasmania Stadium has been referred to as many things for the Hawthorn Football Club over this journey, a 'fortress' among other favourable monikers, but, to all people of the brown and gold, it can be put in much simpler terms...
A second home.
We can't wait to see you again this weekend, Tassie.
