Point: people who say Glass will 'open up his checkbook' if he sees more fans is not remotely true. The payrolls are now divorced from attendance anyway (it's only 1/4 gate receipts now and the rest TV etc). An extra 1M fans which would double our attendance would bring in what 15m? Enough to buy another year of Ervin Santana?

Another million fans would bring in probably $3,000,000 just in parking, $20,000,000 in tickets, $20,000,000 in concessions, and $10,000,000 in sundry merchandise, little K revenue, etc. $50 per head should be realistic...and fans spend more on a team that wins. Then, you get sponsorships and the whole bit.
