High effort and profit maximization aren't exactly business concepts that come to mind when I think of the Brown family. If they wanted to do nothing but rake in the cash, there are any number of strategies they could have employed by now, most notably stadium naming rights. They, up until this year, do a very poor job of promoting the team with fans, which doesn't exactly encourage money to pour in.
I think the family is likely content putting in their current effort and milking the cash cow that can't fail until they have absolutely no choice. A move to a bigger city means dealing with a whole new set of problems. You have a chance of getting a legit local sports media that will hammer ownership in ways that make what they've been through here look like a play date. You also get a bigger city with, by definition, a bigger list of options for how people spend extra income. How long would a place like that tolerate the Brown family? These are not big city people, and they're likely smart enough to understand that they want no part of being the laughingstock of a large town.
