The first problem with user fees (using a 2 million attendance figure) has been pointed to.
Another part involves the number of people buying tickets at each price. I seem to remember a lot of Twins PR about how many tickets are available for $4 or so. Those folks wouldn't likely be happy about paying $3-$4 more per ticket. As has been pointed out recently, teams with new stadiums lose a lot of money. Then there's the good old worry about being a cold Omaha. Didn't even the Strib's editorial column give up on that this fall? We are currently a cold Kansas City, a cold Tampa Bay, a similarly cold Milwaukee. None of those cities give me even a second's envy. If there are 100,000 fans who would be so devastated to lose the Twins, each should take out a $3,000 loan for three or four years and combine the funds to build a park. That would run about $75 a month.
