That's great to hear! I am betting that Seattle is one of the teams to turn a profit. After that... hmm.... well Minny got a lot of good support from their fan base. And maybe the Sun since they play at the Mohegan and have a nice built-in advantage there.

Those would be my three guesses.

The Sun were the first team ever to turn a profit, which they did in 2010. To go from the first ever to three in a year is really fantastic news. Especially given that many of the factors that contributed to the Sun's success weren't really applicable to other squads.
