I'm not saying your wrong, but it's not about gate revenue. It's a combination of what cut do the teams take under the current arrangements, and how much extra concessions can you gain with a new stadium.
Both McMahon and the Dome lose out on tones of pre, post and in event revenue due to their old facilities. The services offered aren't fully comprehensive so fans go elsewhere for pre and post game spend, and the facilities during the game aren't optimised to pump attendees through the lines quickly and there for reduce total sales. You can only buy what the facilities are capable of serving you. This last part will seem trivial, but it's actually a huge problem for both the facilities in question, especially McMahon.
