Bill Shaikin has a Report on the Dodgers's Payroll
Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times has an article regarding confidential documents from the McCourt divorce complications submitted by Jaime McCourt. "The Dodgers could seek to keep their player payroll below last year's level through 2018 while the average ticket price and club revenue could nearly double, according to confidential financial documents included in a court filing last week." This is a quote from the article from latimes.com. If this is true, they will lose ticket sales and only gain so much money. One of the main reasons the Dodgers have the best attendance in baseball? Ticket prices. $25 can get you a pretty damn good seat at Dodger Stadium. $50 can get you a box seat with a pole in your face at Fenway Park. If the Dodgers double ticket prices, you can look for a lot of people spending game night at home on TV rather than at the ballpark.
