Few points in rebuttal
1.....Most (all?) of those multiple team situations date way back and do not involve a situation where the upfront cost of the team is around $600 million. Deal with that reality...a second Toronto team will have to generate revenue sufficient to warrant/justify a $600 million investment....that does not scream out "low ticket prices" to me.
2....The kind of owner that is gonna write that kind of cheque is not doing so to be a dominated second class team.
3....You have just described a market where you can see examples (and I know they exist as well) of people paying $25k a year for sports tickets they are just marginally interested in so that they have a spot in line if the tickets they really want come along.......and yet you still think the second team is about (or will lead to) lower prices?
He described two different sports. Let's say the Panthers played in North York, and the Leafs stay downtown. Would the Panthers charge the same?
