He says this at every single one of them. He illustrates it with 17 graphs and pie charts. 
Even when this team is winning and selling out games their revenue projects to be below the league average because our ticket prices are so low. 

They've been ramping up this point year after year as they prepare to ask for higher ticket prices, a new stadium, downtown development subsidies, and an additional UK game.  

O just see it as more of the same old talk from Lamping trying to drum up justification for charging more and now shipping off another game.

Yeh I've seen  most of them

Their sample of winning games and it's ability to make a sustainable franchise is based on either the 90s era or the literal one year sample this decade

Revenue below league average is still very profitable. So what they are really saying is even if we won we won't make as much as money as we want...and they're saying it under a historically poor losing ownership

People keep on with this "sample size" thing. 
It has zero to do with this. He cites projected numbers based on sellouts at current ticket prices. We're talking about projections, not samples. 

To your latter point, yes, absolutely Lamping and the organization seem to have their sights set too high for this market to attain. Yes, it might be a bit greedy.  Remaining profitable and perhaps above the lower 15% of the league might be a more realistic revenue goal than the league median. 

I'm just saying that he's been driving these exact same points home for years now and it's weird that it's suddenly getting this reaction when he's not saying anything new.
