New TV Contract for local market.<br />2. Large percentage of value is from league sources (43%) while small percentage is from the stadium (18%)<br /><br />Those two factors are key to long term success of the A's. Consider that the Reds and Brewers make a smaller percentage of their overall revenue from league sources while the Giants make more from their stadium than the league. <br /><br />With a new stadium in the right place the A's could be more comparable to the Giants and less like the Reds and Brewers.<br /><br />I imagine that would be a large section of any Blue Ribbon report.Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086938574207856042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-49041657614861920442009-04-24T20:25:00.000-07:002009-04-24T20:25:00.000-07:00And get subsidized by the rest of the league.And get subsidized by the rest of the league.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-9400340419438324922009-04-24T19:29:00.000-07:002009-04-24T19:29:00.000-07:00You make profit easily when you spend little.You make profit easily when you spend little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-58243727515091571172009-04-24T16:23:00.000-07:002009-04-24T16:23:00.000-07:00Besides the surprisingly low drop in franchise val...Besides the surprisingly low drop in franchise value (one would think the combination of the economy slumping, the RE/dev sector cratering, and the ongoing slow-=motion debacle of the Fremont FAIL would have knocked it down a couple more points), I found it interesting to note that the A's were the seventh-most profitable franchise in MLB last year.monkeyballhttp://freekraut.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-81686651750972449552009-04-24T11:06:00.000-07:002009-04-24T11:06:00.000-07:00What data is available for franchise value increas...What data is available for franchise value increases for all of the teams who have built new ballparks under Selig?<br /><br />Is it a 2x or 3x EBITDA calculation or is it something else?

Fremont's come and gone with no effect. Cisco is still signed on, so that may be preventing the slide. At this point I'd have to say the effect is minimal until someone starts building. That's how it worked for the Yanks and Mets.Marine Layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515986023439927575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11432525.post-75726157182194436322009-04-24T04:06:00.000-07:002009-04-24T04:06:00.000-07:00What will be the effect on the A's net worth with ...What will be the effect on the A's net worth with a solid ballpark plan in place?
