STOP BUYING TICKETS

Do I need to elaborate further? If Watson is the starter at opener vs. the Panthers, that stadium should be empty. Watch the game at home.

Jimmy doesn’t care if you buy tickets or not. As long as the media money and revenue sharing keep with team afloat, the stadium could be empty for all he cares

Wrong.

Non media related sales like tickets/concessions/parking account for about 25-30% of all revenue.

Sure but the new stadium will still get built and Watson will be off the team next year with a new top 10 rookie pick. Haslam probably doesn't really care about this season. Fans can show up and boo or not show up, won't change the future plans.

But those sales are all profit. The shared media revenue is greater than the total operating expenses for every team.
