| So nothing new to invent or grow to have commercials for sporting events. And like you pointed out, probably 90% of audience already watch sports on tv. Theater has terrible track record on tv. Only big names draw in anything close to acceptable numbers on these live musicals. The award theater ceremonies pale in comparison to movies or pop music. So where would these advertisers come from. |

| It is not just advertising, the broadcast deals are in place. TV revenue for baseball is roughly twice gate receipts as I recall and over $2 billion so it is a no brainer that broadcasting in empty stadiums is a successful business model. | |

| Not to mention that there's an advantage to watching sports on TV. For example, you can see much better, and you avoid fans who can be much worse than any theatre-texter ever was. And the regional, competitive nature of sports and the history make it a slam dunk (pun intended). Two very different things. |
