When it comes to sports teams, its the market they are in that determines a lot of their value.

The biggest money is TV revenue and merchandise sales. If you look at it like that, it makes more sense.

Forbes is pretty good at this stuff.

I disagree to some extent, I understand ticket sales aren't the end all be all but if you don't have ticket sales chances are you don't have a rock solid fan base and w/o a fan base you don't sell merchandise and air-time.....so how does that relate.

And GLN I hope you don't root for the Mets b/c we would then have to label you as a choking hazard just like them the past few seasons.

I am surprised the Cubs are as low as they are when you consider their constant attendance, national TV audience via WGN and probably top 3 MLB merchandise sales. I would like to see what factors they used to determine these values.
