I was pondering a bit about how the professional teams in a dying city like Detroit are able to keep going. With a dwindling city and people moving out, how do they put fannies in the seats enough to keep the respective arenas of play open and pay the athletes, much less turn a profit? Is there that much of a suburbia draw to keep up 4 professional franchises? At what point does a team struggling to make ends meet, bail and run to the first city offering new digs to play in?
