southsideirish71 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 http://www.sports-wired.com/teams/team.asp?Name=H Its the ultimate chicken and egg controversy. It seems that everytime we are about to break that 2 mill mark we shoot ourselves in the foot. Last year we were well on our way to break that 2 mill then the choke happened and of course attendance tails off. In 97 we got close then we have the white flag trade. And in 94 we were on our way with only a partial season. I have heard rumors that JR gets some breaks on the lease if attendance is below a certain mark. I dont know if that is true but maybe the sub 70 million payroll and the sub 2 million marks make for a better profit for JR. Now JR always says if we had the proper attendance we could increase payroll. Does anyone really believe if we had a 2.4 million attendance that we would be seeing a 80-90 mill salary range. I dont know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Based on the Sox history of putting profits back into payroll the next season, yes I do think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payroll always follows attendance. Go back and look at the trends. It is an absolute correlation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
