I have one question.
It's very hard to find out what teams are making as revenue. Many of the teams are very protective of those numbers and even during this lockout the numbers have not been made public and are a point of contention in this dispute because one side does not believe the others numbers. That said how were you able to come up with a credible source that accounts for all thirty teams over the last four years for you to even estimate an avg when no one else reporting this info has made these numbers public with any kind of consistency for even one team?
The padded (or othewise) attendance figures are available from ESPN.
Respectfully, I think until you have a credible source that reports revenue of each team you have nothing to go by but guesswork.
As a fan in the New York area I follow this very close with all three teams and always look for this kind of info to get a good idea on the business. The Isles gave their books to the NY Times in the summer of 2003 for a complete review so I have a framework of that team from one year, not four over two ownerships.
Today the NY Post claimed the Rangers total revenue was 85.3 million. Forbes put them at 118 million and the team claimed 40m in losses. This is the landscape we are dealing with and it's just not very consistent.
