The team is losing $12 million a year. If they move, what would this mean for the Crew?

I was thinking more along the lines of what happened in Seattle with the Sonics leaving. Maybe losing the hockey team will bring more people to Crew Stadium.

That they'll draw 12,000 rather than 10,000 for a playoff game?

From my couch, the stadium looked half full. The Supporters were definitely out in force but that was only a portion of the stands.
