5. Loss of Money?
It is very easy for a professional sports team to loose money. With player salaries at an
extremely high rate, teams have to keep making more money each year to keep up with
rising costs. This means arena's must get bigger and other costs, like food and merchandise
must also rise. The problem with this if getting the people to still buy the products and to
keep fans support with rising prices. Teams that struggle and don’t have the much success
have troubles keeping steady profits, because of such low fan bases. The Toronto maple leafs
have the most expensive regular season ticket price with an average of roughly $125. Compared
to the NHL average ticket price of $61, and The Dallas Stars cheapest ticket price of $36. It
Is very clear that teams with a bad location can really affect the money the team generates.
