The biggest issue is the fact they are a bottom 15 market size, and a bottom attendance wise, but in the top 15 salary wise at the moment. What else can you ask of an owner?
If we got full attendance 30-35K a night, we would have probably still traded EE, but otherwise we would have sign Marwin, kept Gomes, and would have likely gotten a veteran OF and Setup man as well, but how can you ask someone to afford to run a team if people don’t show up to watch them? They have really good TV and radio ratings, but honestly don’t expect an owner to put out money if people don’t show up!
24k in sales at like simple 100, per person is 194.4 mil over a season, 35k is 283.5 mil a season. So that amount of ticket difference is like a 100 mil a season. If fans sold out most games, they don’t have an excuse not to stay at the 150 mil type of payroll in a sense but at 24k that’s just asking way too much of Dolan/any owner.
How much are using per a ticket. if we use simple math of 5,000 X 81 games, that is 400k more people attending, if we then use $75 per a person with a $50 ticket (average), one beer, one dog, that is 30 million, there is a cost to the food and beer, but not huge, so lets say 25 million in profit reasonable to ask we average 5k more a game, and 25 million going towards players would have been nice, but I think your 90 million more is a bit high and unreasonable.
