This shortfall doesn’t necessarily mean that any of Denver’s teams will move or fold. But it’s a reliable sign that those teams can expect continued volatility in attendance and revenues.

The other 65 metros included in the study either have sufficient income to support their existing franchises or don’t have any major-league teams at all.
Charlotte at 19th.
