I think you guys are underestimating the value of Novelty. If this was the way jays were every year the hype wouldn't be nearly as big. A lot of this excitement and uptick is due to that factor
Rogers understands that.
I wonder what the incremental increase in revenue is for the last 30 games. If we say that the jays will have say 12000 more fans a game with each fan contributing an average of $50 that is $600k a game.
There are very few costs of the incremental increase in attendance but suppose it's $100k per game. That's an operating increase of $500k a game times 30 is $15 Million from attendance alone
So you would rather Jays win ALE and Angels win ALW
obviously every one would,
I rather face the Astros in the Jays win ALE and Astros win ALW scenario
In terms of the wildcard, I rather face the Os.
