    ahh, they're listing at as raw numbers and not percentage of seats filled. Makes sense I guess.

    what they should have done was compare incomes. Thats all that really matters if u think about it.

    well in some ways that "could" skew the facts. I have no idea what shittspuke ticket prices are but if they're substantially higher than Cleveland than they could theoretically pull in as much gate as the Browns do with lesser attendance. I'm pretty sure merchandise wise the steelers do significantly better than the Browns. I don't where the Browns are ranked but Shittspuke is 9th in team merchanidse. That can't be all pgh people.

    Most NFL teams are privately held businesses not public....except for the Packers, and they will by NO means ever disclose their income/loss/profit figures.

    Dayton

    Yes, but Gip. A lot of those smaller markets overlap a bigger one. You have the Carolina Panthers, not the Charlotte Panthers, and the Tennessee Titans, not the Nashville Titans. Think of the NFL's 75 mile blackout rule. Dayton is considered part of Cinci's market, so the Browns are always preempted by those damn Bungles- though Columbus is not. Toledo and Ann Arbor are part of the Detroit market. Baltimore and Washington DC's markets overlap.

    Yes, Larry, I know that is all true. If you combined markets that are within that 75 mile radius you would get a different result.

    Example: Orlando would be combined with Tampa. As noted, Baltimore and Washington would be combined.

    West Palm Beach and Miami. Dayton and Cinci. Toledo and Detroit. Greensboro and Raleigh/Durham (but these would not be within the Charlotte 75 mile radius) Maybe Harrisburg and Philly (though actually, Harrisburg may actually be closer to Baltimore)

    Sacramento and the Bay Area possibly. Flint and Detroit.

    But, as noted, probably the largest two areas that can be combined that does not already have a team...besides LA... is the San Antonio/Austin area. Combine those two and you have a potential Top 15 marketplace. But Jerry Jones jealousy guards that as his personal territory despite already having the #5 largest market sewn up.
