Financial data for the Yankees

Just linking this story to show the financial data:

Last year, the team - which hasn’t won a World Series in eight years - grossed a record $188 million in gate receipts, a 20.5% increase over the 2006 season. Factoring in other revenue streams like overpriced hot dogs, beer, pizzas and souvenirs - and income from the cable TV rights to home games - Stadium income surpassed $319 million in 2007.The team’s annual rent report filed with the city Parks Department shows the Yanks netted $65.3 million in concessions last year.
