[QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 1058096, member: 78"]
losing a season costs up to 44,000,000 according to their own bs

the game given to NYC is probably 1.5x more valuable than the games not given to NYC (wagner, maine garbage).  figure 7 "home" games.  (44M/7)*1.5 = 9.5 million lost

let's be generous and assume that half of the benefit of the NYC game branding intangible fuzzy bullsh!t goes to the syracuse region.  that is a crazy assumption on purpose, i can be stupidly generous and the numbers still don't work

that means the game in NY is worth 19 million for the brand if they are to be believed about the impact to the region.  Otherwise they'd keep the game in Syracuse

if a quarter of the benefit goes to the region (still too generous)(, that would mean the NYC game would have to be worth 38 million

i say bulllllsh!t.  why ever play at home if it's so valuable to play away

By this logic, if the roof blows off, they can go on some barnstroming branding intangible fuzzy tour.  maybe we should stop playing at home altogether

can't assume that games are so incredibly valuable to the region that we need to spend a lot of money to insure that we never lose a game while at the same time voluntarily playing home games elsewhere

i'm not denying that there are intangible assets.  i'm denying that you know anything about them, for you they're just a bullsh!t plug to tell whatever story you want to tell
