Disturbing Facts

Financially are the A's better off by closing the third deck? Has the lost revenue fron the lower attendance greater or less than the added costs of running the third deck?

The A's have announce a 34,000 seat stadium in Freemont.  How are the A's going to increase revenue to allow us to keep our quality players?  If the demand for tickets sell out the stadium it will mean attendance will be about 2.7 million fans.  Will this give us enough money? Will the A's like the Giants, be strapped for cash because they half to service the debt to build the stadium?

If the demand for tickes increases to give the A's a sellouts, are we looking at a 30% or more increase in ticket prices?

What else can the A's do to increase revenue?  Is technology the answer?  If so, will the average baseball fan buy into it?

Do you have any suggestions or answers?
