Spending millions on presupposed ticket sales isn't a smart idea, Mr. Loria

There are only two teams that can sell a lot of tickets without winning
The Cubs and the Sawx.

Fact on Villanova Sports
Fenway has been empty whenever the Red Sox have been bad
They had a couple of lean years before Pedro came in and spiked attendance.
