Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 3392226, member: 3850"] One might overhear talkers about liking live games... But anecdotes may not be turning into turnstile reality... Averaging 1,903 butts in the seats the last season, Norwich would be kind of tight if independently meeting payroll costs, equipment costs, stadium lease costs, utilities, insurance, transportation..etc. without MLB subsidy. The contraction of minor league baseball is because teams just aren't self supporting and are a business drag. Owners own a a business....and like businesses do, they sometimes shut down unprofitable locations. [/QUOTE]
