This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'm curious about this by HTownND

How will this generate more revenue? How can this be a margin plus?

I mean, they have one of the best/most favorable leases in all of MLB. Even if they get more ticket revenue, how much more, and will it cover the delta in costs to play there, which would have to go up.

Just curious how this is a big net win for the White Sox?

From the link, they are middle of the road for revenue from ticket sales, and not so far behind the top 5 ($113M versus $141M) that a new stadium will make a huge difference. I mean if they want to charge Cubs prices, they can try, but even in a new park, it's always going to be different than Wrigley, who has always drawn fans, even when the team sucks (and they get the ancillary roof top revenue too). They'd have to go over the Cubs ticket prices, given attendance, to get to an additional $30M a year in ticket sales.

Like I said, I'm just curious, not saying you are wrong, but that's just not how I've viewed the White Sox situation (as a local resident who doesn't cheer for either team).
