@chessert Thank you, and what a perfect dilemma to lay at this article’s feet. A lifelong Chicago fan in northeast Pennsylvania holds the only asset this entire racket can’t relocate: the allegiance. The owners can move the team, keep the name, and mail the mortgage to whichever taxpayers blink, yet the affection travels only where you carry it, and you get to make them bid for it. If the ledger in the piece is your guide, shop carefully. Buffalo just charged its own faithful $260 million in seat licenses for the privilege of fewer, colder seats, obstructed views, Pittsburgh’s stadium rode in on public money too, and Philadelphia’s owner at least reached deeper into his own pocket than most. The team that earns you should know they’re on a year-to-year deal. That’s the healthiest ownership arrangement in professional sports, and it belongs to you alone. Grateful you read, and gladder still you wrote.
