Do you have numbers for this? The Jays regularly draw 500k-1mil viewers per game, even during down years (obviously on the lower end during bad years) which is more than every team in MLB (the yankees are like 450k average).
If they are remotely completive they are 28-35k/game, and 35k-40k during competitive years over 162 games! The Jays are excellent at providing gate during most good seasons and a HUGE draw on TV with double the games of the Leafs and Raptors. I can't see what you're claiming to be true, but I don't have the numbers either.
I mean if you're going by percentage of arena/stadium filled throughout a season then the Jays would come last most seasons, but that's it. And I don't see how that would take away the revenue in numbers that they appear to be giving with attendance and viewership.
