2022 – 3.3M attendance-$165M End of year payroll
2025 – 2.25M (I don’t believe that #) $131M end of year payroll
Average butt in a seat spends $75, per that AI nonsense. I’m not including the ticket, BPV or parking. I’ll use $50 to be fair, that’s very realistic.
That’s an extra $50M from concessions, hats, jerseys, plus not losing fans.
Adding two above average starting pitchers via FA and trade and a 3-5 hole bat with power for RF could put the butts back in the seats. Arenado and Gray will be significantly less in 2027 so backload them a bit if need be.
