I know we share TV revenue but I feel that we should share the gate. We already do this in postseason games. But I would like to see it extend to the regular season. Not a full 50-50 split but maybe like the old 2/3-1/3 model. I think it would make for more balanced leagues. Thoughts? Pros, cons?

It would help the teams with a small arena and would hurt the teams that have made the effort to build a large arena. I don't like your proposition...



the 'big market' teams never do like the idea of sharing the wealth. Bill Veeck was branded a socialist for even broaching the idea back in the 1950's. But revenue sharing does help level the field, and I think overall it helps everyone and can lead to not only more competitive balance but also into more overall engagement.

Lets take team A who perhaps draw a average gate of 200,000

the 2/3-1/3 split would be 150375 for the home team, 49625 for the visitor

Team B lets say draws a average of 225,000 169173 for the home 55827 for the visitor

based upon a home and home team A would take in approximately 206202 team B 218,798 so the difference would not be huge on a game by game basis but the aggregate effect will be beneficial to the 'poorer' team.

It is better to give an even bigger starting arena for new managers, or give them 2000 bleachers after they stay a whole year in the game, what you propose is unfair for big teams

The big teams would still make more money. And maybe this would inspire people to work on building their arena.

Why waste money on building your arena when you can leech off higher gate receipts for free?

LMAO why are you talking about “big market teams” as if you can’t just simply build your arena up and become a “big market team” yourself ? This is buzzerbeater each and every team can be a “big market team.”
