Hi, everyone: I wrote an article today for the Cincinnati Business Courier wrapping up the postseason attendance and the impact on the bottom line for the Cyclones. Here's the link, and the more clicks we get to the story, the better chance I have to keep writing about the Cyclones: http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/blog/2013/05/cyclones-postseason-run-boosts-teams.html

By the way, the last story I wrote last month did really well on our site, so thanks to all who clicked on the story.

Nice article, Steve. Thank you for sharing. I'm pleasantly surprised that they found themselves in the black. After losing the team several years ago, their financial viability is always a concern when I see crowds like that.

Thanks, Reggie. Yes, they have come a long way from those days. And as Kristin Ropp pointed out, they make money even beyond ticket sales, on items such as concessions and merchandise. They get a lot of revenue other teams don't because they own the arena, too.

"Concession prices climb, with some items $2 to $3 higher than during the season, Ropp said."

Which concession items have increased prices?

It didn't appear any items were higher, but I usually only buy a pop, and maybe peanuts or popcorn.
