    The proof of a million empty seats is undebatable and is also called off topic when talking of fans coming back. You are done

    https://www.mlb.com/twins/team/front-office Does that look bloated to you? does 12 coaches for 26 players seem like a lot?

    What one player signable for thirteen million would have turned the 24 Twins into a hundred win team? The Twins had to have that kind of team to increase the attendance. The twins had a division leading team for almost all of the 23 season the Twins had 2 Cy Young caliber pitchers. They had only a slight increase in attendance. So division leading in and of itself was not bringing in fans.

    A million seats that were once full stayed empty. That is saying the fans did not come back The 2019 attendance was maybe 100000 more than 2014 and 2015 when they were bad .

    If you say they killed their revenue potential, you would have to show they would make more than they spent to do it. You haven’t done that. I am not defending anything other than reality.

    Baseball limits what the teams can borrow money for. You can thank Frank McCourt for that. You can say they lost money in the pandemic on the downtown buildings but please feel free to tell me which those buildings are

    When the person complained that the Twins got 350m for the stadium and thus owed the fans, my point was the Twins did pay it back. The poor math was the Twins accountants who didn’t say to quit spending once the debt reached 350m. Sorry everything has to spelled out for you
  8. old nurse
    In all of your posting you still have not shown that 350000 more fans would significantly change the payroll. You can post 100 different things, it still doesn’t change the fact the fans did not come back in significant numbers when they won.

    The Twins don’t win titles, fans don’t come out. Long history of that since the 70s. It is what it is. Owners don’t want to lose money. That is what it is. Fans don’t come out, owners don’t have money to spend. If the owners spend their own money, soon they will not have any money either. The citizens bonded 350m, the Pohlads lost 500m. I guess they are even

    There was an older study that after looking at over 2000 games, giveaways increased attendance by 1500 fans. Behind a paywall, a story said that returning the kid’s toys in happy meals increased sales by 3.8%. For McDonalds. I don’t know if was sustained, I wasn’t going to pay to find out. The Twins do have people working on game day experience and promotions Senior Director, Game Day Experience: Sam Henschen Director, Marketing Promotions & Special Events: Heather Rajeski I don’t know if a senior director has subordinates or just a fancy title

    They were running deficits, spending in total more than they were making. They chose to cut on the baseball side rather than the operations side.
  12. old nurse
    I did not say it was unique to the Twins. Are you reallly that desparate that you have to make up statements
  13. old nurse
    They also lost the money from the RSNs
  14. old nurse
    The fans are what they are. That is not faulting the fans for anything. Attendance numbers follow winning. There is absolutely long history of that with the Twins since the 70s. The only 2 exceptions are the openings of a new stadium and when Paul Molitor joined the Twins. Frontrunning.

    Once again, Forbes figures it out for each club. For Minnnesota it is easy because they can look at sales tax receipts. $50 a fan. Now remember that revenue per fan is shared so the Twins see 52% of it, thus 9 million
  16. old nurse
    They know the fan base it both front running and cheap. That has been the same pattern since they bought the club.
  17. old nurse
    It would not have been enough money to have retained Sonny Grey. In 2024
  18. old nurse
    Woo hoo, at an average revenue of $50 per fan (per Forbes),and 48% going to MLB, the revenue from 350K is a drop in the bucket and still left a million empty seats
  19. old nurse
    2019 says you are wrong about fans coming back when they are up decisively
  20. old nurse
    😆😄🤣. 4 years of bad pitching. FIP may like him, but the scoreboard says otherwise
  21. old nurse
    Can’t figure out if you are trying to be funny or or oblivious to what passive aggressive means
  22. old nurse
    Your quote was clearly that he was passive after Levine left which was before last season. You said he was aggressive when Levine was here so therefore he would not have been passive until last year. If you want to say he was passive the two previous offseasons then you still are contradicting yourself. About the only time the Twins have been aggressive in the offseason selling had been with Smith as the GM. Those out sales led to a huge hole for Ryan to dig out of
  23. old nurse
    Read what I responded to then respond appropriately
  24. old nurse
    The team cycled up and down under Ryan. No different under Falvey, no different than the other non large market teams. Did he improve anything they were doing? Hard to say. He spent money on staff. Maybe improving the pitching, maybe just luck. The judge of how welll he has done will be if a large market teams hires him
  25. old nurse
    Blowing up the bullpen was passive?
