New York Yankees team president Randy Levine took issue with teams like the Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins that take advantage of revenue sharing but fail to boost attendances.
New York Yankees president Randy Levine took shots at the Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Marlins for failing to boost attendance as they receive revenue-sharing money from bigger-market teams. Levine made the remarks last week at Sportico’s Invest in Sports Conference. He was with team owner Hal Steinbrenner, who made news when he suggested personnel changes could be coming in the organization.
However, Levine had a bone to pick with the Rays and Marlins. Tampa Bay ranked 27th in average attendance with 17,781 people even with one of the best records in baseball. The team’s lack of attendance was notably highlighted during the American League Wild Card Series. Miami was 29th in average attendance with 14,356. 'A lot more focus has to be on individual teams to do better and not just rely on revenue sharing,' Levine said.
