It's these asshole players being greedy. They see these figures, and well you know we should all split it evenly - is their mentality. Picture if you will 35K (Rounding +/-2k) people; each spending $11.27 (Average/net) now multiply that with the homestands; 68(65-70)*
*Excluding All Star, Division, or WorSer.
Do the math.
Per game = $394,450
X Homestands(68)
Concessions/Ticketing = $26,822,600/per annum*
*Excluding special events
That is net profit, After the bills are paid Food/beverage/ticketing) they bring about 30Mil[+/-].
Now add this on... they don't tell me these figures...
-Retail outlets (Regional/stadium)
-Now we throw in advertising (radio/TV/infield/outfield)
-Rights for radio to play by play
-Rights for fox sportsnet
-Licensing (all teams/logos owned by MLB) kickback
-ESPN Highlite fee
-Japan Broadcast rights

-Diamond club (preferred seating) +$$
