How does MLB make money if fans don’t really go to the games?

I always see these big stadiums and a lot of empty seats throughout. How does MLB generate money?

Manfred and the owners sell Mary Kay outside the stadium.

Local TV money is big.

All they gotta do is sell 10k tickets to make a profit

MLB is a dying professional sport for the general sports watcher. But they have a lot money backing them in huge markets.

I also have this question for the Minor Legues.

Inflation and local taxpayers agree to pay most of the stadium tab.
Like others said, tv deals and advertising are where the primary cash is.

Baseball is a local, regional game. People love watching “their” team. Plus it’s popular in huge markets..NY, LA.

15 of the leagues 30 teams are averaging 30K+ what?

Kids in school actually hampers spring attendance.

I’d assume ticket sales aren’t as bad as actual attendance. But I don’t know that for that a fact.

It's not. It's the same as last full season pre covid where 13 of the teams averaged 30K+ with 4 at 40K+.
MLB attendance has remained consistently high.

TV money
This. Just like the NFL, MLB doesn’t give a shite if people are in the stands. TV money more than makes up for it.
Hell if these leagues were honest they’d probably admit that they’d love to shite fans out of the stadiums for good

They sell ads on the hats and jerseys now to keep the lights on now. Definitely necessary and not a shameless cash grab

. How does MLB generate money?
For all their managerial ineptitude and incompetence, there is one area where MLB didn't just outperform all other sports leagues, but one where it absolutely set the model for every other sport in the world to mimic-- the internet and broadcasting rights from the internet.
You watch ESPN on Demand? Built on the back of MLB technology. When you open HBO Max? Its based largely on infrastructure models built by Major League Baseball.
Here's a handy spin off story about that transition-
MLB and Streaming
BAM and other technology aspects of the MLB web and internet operations generate amazing revenue streams, and that's long before you get into actual baseball generated revenue.

Ever see those ads behind home plate?
