Easily. The "Winnipeg compares to Nashville/Columbus" argument assumes Winnipeg is selling out every game, where Nashville and Columbus obviously are not. This is actually an argument that has consistently been made from day one: Winnipeg's top end is no better than existing mediocrity.
If Columbus or Nashville got to the point of selling out all their games, their revenues would far exceed Winnipeg's. If Winnipeg hit a downspin, Columbus and Nashville would see their revenues far exceed Winnipeg.
It is worth noting that Nashville was a relocation target not too long ago.
