It can also go the other way if they damage the game by allowing too any rule  changes, games too long or create ticket prices too high.

One thing some don't understand is by cities involvement in building stadiums, it keeps ticket prices lower. If owners were forced to pay 100%, the investment dollars get passed straight through to ticket holders. In the end, consumers pay for everything either through taxes or price hikes.

Exactly. The entire purpose of professional sports is to make money showcasing elite talent. At the end of the day, these teams don't owe the cities anything. That's why people shouldn't get so attached to a particular sports team. If a team leaves your city, just pick a different team or stop watching altogether. It's just sports.
