To be fair the % is a little better on the investment since that figure was only the steelers contribution, although Pitt/WPIAL/other amounts to only a small fraction of the steelers.

Cutty you know there are people on here that will argue to the end that somehow 8-10 steelers home games are better for a business such as a bar/restaurant/hotel than 80 pirates games or 40 Pens games.

Just out of curiosity though, is a portion (presumably a large one) of the Pirates charitable donations free tickets to games? Tickets that when used in attending a game are counted in attendance at the game?
