How is parking in the public domain? Do you know how many parking spots they sell per game?
Ticket prices vary based on when they are purchased, so at best its an estimate for total ticket revenue.
Do you know the details of the concessions arrangement between Melnyk and Aramark? Pretty sure that's the opposite of public domain.
Player salaries are unofficially released. And expenses aren't public. What are we paying the training staff? How about the ushers?
Their 'detailed and comprehensive analysis' largely relies on a survey and hearsay from media reports. Again, I refer to my comment of it being largely out of thin air.
there are apparently 8000 parking spots at the facility. that's a number I've heard often but whatever it is, it is verifiable
estimate revenue based on attendance and known pricing information all of which is public isn' that hard to do
idk the details between Aramark and Melnyk. Aramark is a public company though and if I made it my business to know I could build a very accurate business model on concession revenue and revenue splits. Such models exists in a competitive industry with major public companies playing in it.
Same goes for arena operating expenses. Models exists.
You can read their reports. They publish a series of footnotes to their findings that provide insight into their methodology.
Between info in the public domain and using industry cost models the info they produce is pretty accurate.
And if you think that industry cost models are hogwash....what do you think the banking industry uses when financing the construction of major stadiums?
Billion dollar construction projects get financed using these types of models. They need to ascertain that the building is viable prior to lending money to build it. it's common practice.
