I still think whomever buys this team will still lose money. I'm sure they're going to pick up some more ticket sales with this playoff run and a new marketing campaign via new ownership. However, it still comes down to one issue for me: Arena location. I think because of that fact and that fact alone, whomever operates this team is always going to be facing an uphill battle with filling the seats. Which is a shame, because if that arena were more central and within 30 minutes or less from any point in the city, I think they'd be filling those seats night after night. Maybe not sold out, but definitely better than I've seen the numerous times I've been there.
