Aren't there many times as many TV spectators as there could possibly be 
sitting in the stadium? What would the team have to gain, if they lose so many 
spectators? Or are the seats so expensive that fans in the stadium provide more 
revenue than TV viewers?

I'd love to see if any of these playoff games did get blacked out. Then we'd 
know whether or not demand elasticity exists. I have my doubts, but it would be 
interesting to see the repercussions. And even more interesting if no one 
seemed to care!!
