Conversely, teams seeing the largest declines in attendance relative to 2011 included Houston (22.2%), Cleveland (12.9%), Minnesota (12.4%), Seattle (9.2%), Milwaukee (7.8%), and NYMets (7.1%).
There is no doubt that the Dodgers will see their franchise value drop between 2011 and 2012, and may be on par with the 6% reduction that befell the NYMets between 2010 and 2011.
In an earlier SportsMoney piece this summer regarding the most and least efficient sports franchises of the last five years, only the NYMets and Seattle Mariners were worse than the Giants in terms of cost efficiency in MLB.
