There are teams like the Giants and Yankees that fill 90% of total available seats per season.
That’s $200 million per year in ticket sales, before they even sell you your first $8 beer. Or $6 hot dog. Or $30 ball cap for the kid.
The TV revenues are more, but players would have to take a pay cut to make it work.
Owners are not going to lose money on purpose.
Play Ball!
Owners would bite the bullet just to salvage the season and the sport.
They should be thankful. A lot of business owners have no choice but to kill off their companies right now. Baseball gets guaranteed money for the extended future. They should suck it up and be thankful they still have a product to sell.
