It is hard to see why Fisher kept Wolff, who since taking his current job following the 2005 season has done nothing noticeable to improve the stadium.
you better hope to God you don't show up in this little community, because you'll wish you had never come
I don’t see anywhere in that article where they talk about stadiums helping existing local businesses. But holy shit does it look like it’s a bad deal to build a SimCity 2000 Arco.
Yes, assumed to include $32(?) million, perhaps a steady number for the A’s going back 3-5 years.
The Forbes web pages are not too intuitive for clicking through to find the applicable fine print.

Tempting the A’s finances like a crossword puzzle, using the revenue components 1) ticket sales, t-shirt sales, parking and non TV/radio local advertising, 2) national TV contract, 3) local TV contract, and 4) the various MLB $ pools, mainly, but not only MLB Revenue Sharing,
the conclusion is that there are some large $$ numbers in each of the components, reaching to $161mil in annual revenues according to Forbes.

2011 – A’s already core attendance declined. Forbes’ estimated revenue per fan decreased $2, now $37 down from $39.
A’s reported operating income way down from previous years. From $23mil down to $14.6mil. Will the team be taking the bus this year?

Thanks, and go As.
It’s after Purim and that guy’s still around?
Impaling himself on his own words. If only everyone else actually realized it.
THT has no better idea what a player is worth than you or I do. Keep guessing guys
A neurosurgeon has no better idea how to fix your aneurism than you or I do. Keep drilling guys.
Al gore has no better idea what is causing global temperatures to rise than you or I do. Keep guessing guys.
But that one’s true…
Well, it’s true for me (he and I both just read the reports of scientists).
It’s not true for nearly half the country…
Jon Heyman is probably my least favorite writer
What exactly is Crowley supposed to be doing, anyway?

Team values of AL West:
#7 Rangers
#8 Angels
#12 Mariners
#13 Astros
FIFTY FEET OF CRAP
#30 Athletics (dead last)
Being an A’s fan is really going to suck for a long time.
excuse me please, is that pronounced “beeg gäp?” or “fiph tee phéët ov krÃ¥p?”
Fixed.
Thanks, and go As.
Wait, the Astros are the 13th most valuable MLB team?
They have a big ass media market all to themselves. That’s a lot of potential dollars even if they are not currently exploiting it.
Revenues don’t really reflect recent attendance decline. Every year it’s $159-161mil for the A’s in revenue.
At a glance, looks like the A’s make a pre-tax annual profit of $60 million. Good job!
Maybe I misunderstand how they calculate revenue, but doesn’t that $159-161 million include revenue sharing from MLB?
