I think I did mention that the other teams catching up may be part of it, but estimated team value was also among the highest before Camden Yards.<br /><br />I imagine the next thing to do would be to value teams pre and post new stadiums. I have heard often that new stadium construction did not offer the panaceas that Selig was saying it would in the early 2000s. Maybe with every team doing it, it marginalizes the effects.<br /><br />Good ideas.Jon Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521809778977098687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-820677742542611212011-03-25T07:48:46.353-04:002011-03-25T07:48:46.353-04:00"It just looks like he either mismanaged his ..."It just looks like he either mismanaged his asset or Baltimore's market is largely exploited. I'd go with the former."<br /><br />I'm not sure I agree here. Your graphs all show the Orioles among the most valuable franchises when they were one of a handful of teams playing in a cash cow of a new ballpark; now, outside of Oakland, Florida, Tampa, Toronto, and maybe one or two others I'm overlooking, everyone plays in a ballpark filled with luxury suites and ample revenue opportunities. They may certainly have the ability to leverage MASN into something bigger, but I think that equal sharing of national TV and internet monies, combined with everyone else catching up in the ballpark department, means franchises largely trade on the value of local TV rights. And that would seem to me to put the Orioles right in the middle of the pack.The Oriole Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483309131692836436noreply@blogger.com
