Almost every owner who bitches about operating at a lost ignores how much these teams gain value over time.

And almost every fan who bitches about teams appreciating in value ignores the carrying cost on the debt and the significant opportunity costs involved for 9-figure investments. Never as good or as bad as it seems I guess is my point.

Clark,

You're right, I don't know about this, but I'd be interested in learning more. Most of my knowledge on this issue stems from baseball, where people like Doug Pappas (RIP) did a lot of work pointing out how FOS most of the owners were, but I don't recall seeing thist stuff mentioned. Can you expand?
