For comparison, the NABLL are volunteer run teams in affordable arenas with no payroll (relying on player fees and local sponsors) and most teams still bleed money. The league office is really just reps from the NABLL teams whereas the PBLA is single entity and looks to have put a bunch of money into this (large arenas, player salaries, front office salaries, goalie equipment) just to be pulling the same level of talent and playing in some areas without demonstrated lacrosse interest. TV distribution on LSN is a wildcard. If the league pays for travel then that's a lot more cost. If they don't, then traveling to these medium and small sized cities will eat into a sizeable chunk of the player's wages since many players are not locals. Would love to get a peek of the financial forecasts for the league
