It wipes out businesses in the area… hotels, restaurants, gig workers like Uber drivers. The effects of ownership apathy are far reaching. Went to St Louis once last year and the deterioration around the ballpark was striking.

The owners still pocket the rich TV rights and advertising bucks, and the franchise continues to appreciate in market value, making them billionaires if they sell.

Keep on mind Forbes has consistently priced the Toronto Maple Leafs as the most valuable franchise in the NHL (about $4 billion). The Leafs' last Sranley Cup was back when there were only six teams: 1966-67.

Absolutely.


Saw some videos last season of local businesses, restaurants, t shirt vendors etc etc crying the blues pretty harshly. Many expressed serious concern as to how much longer they could hang on if crowds do not return enmasse.
