It's a small market because there are far fewer people in the metropolitan area than a New York, or LA, or Chicago.
It's far more important for a team like the Royals to attract the fan from 100 miles away than it is for the Yankees.
The way to do that is to provide a winning product,

Thanks for convincing me that winning helps. I had been arguing that winning doesn't help, so it's good of you to set me straight.
Explain to me how putting a stadium in the middle of nowhere attracts visitors from a hundred miles away better than a stadium where the Kaufman center is would. Is it the lure of staying at the Drury Inn? The ability to visit the saddest miniature golf course and worst water park in the country in a single afternoon in Cool Crest and Coco Keys?
That's way better than coming into town, staying at the Hotel Phillips, seeing a game at a downtown stadium, going to Power and Light, seeing a concert at Sprint Center, having a meal at the Plaza, checking out an indie art gallery in the crossroads, having a picnic at Loose Park, etc. all within a $15 cab ride.
