    It's not from stadium attendence, it's from the massive cable tv contracts.

    True, but 4 Million fans a year helps as well as his YES network.

    Other fans might.

    What happened to the Mess? They were supposed to have a good team this year. They didn't spend as much as the Yankees but they did spend a bundle. And what do they have to show for it? About the same record as last year.

    I hear both sides.... but to Gemmy's point.....putting asses in the seats is a big part also. What do you estimate a click of the turnstile is worth? My conservative guess is $50 profit between tix, concessions, etal. That equates to $2.5 million a game or $2 billion a season on home games alone. Regards.

    According to Forbes, they "only" bring in $143M on gate totals.

    Nice link stown. Gate reciepts and "other" are somewhat of a blur from a financial perspective... as some of " the other" is driven by gate receipts. Regardless, a clean 18% and $1.43 billion driven by attendance is huge.

    How are you coming up with 1.5 and 2 billion? Are you saying they net or gross that much?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, you say they profit $50 per game, right? $50 x 50,000 x 81 = $202,500,000
