The only way we could be so low (compared to Toronto) on the revenue stream since we both have an operating budget in the Red (with similar payrolls), is that we're paying ridiculous rent to the Yankees for YS. We have the highest assortment of merch sales, but 2/3 the revenue??? Yeah, we're getting fleeced by our minority-stake owner.
