It's hard to believe that Chicago can't bring in more with Tamika there. Naperville is such a cool town too. You'd think they'd know about the team.

To go one step further, they show YTD attendance as 34 games, 35,687 people.
Colorado has had 9 home games, for 17,137, so the REST OF THE LEAGUE has 18,550 for 25 games. An average of 742 people!
742 people x 10 per ticket = $7,420.
$7,420 x 12 home games = $89,040.
It costs $50,000 just to have a team. That would leave you just under $40,000 to cover the players, the gym, the travel, your coaches, your staff and personnel, and general operating expenses.
Think there are profits going to the team owners?

i think that must depend a lot on sponsorships. in general, tho, i doubt anyone is making money... even colorado. the league has always been a farce. i would much rather see these women going overseas. of course, it might not be good for their social lives, but it would likely be better for their game.
