My point is winning is a major factor in being a desirable city for players in response to another post about winning may not be that important. Pittsburgh is not a conventionally desirable city and they succeeded because of having stars and winning. When they didn’t have a star they almost relocated (which has happened multiple times in their history). I was wrong about the folding piece and says as much so I’m not sure why you’re focused on the bankruptcy part.
