If this poll passes we will increase the visiting team's gate share by 15% in 5% increments. If both this and increasing revenue sharing pass, all changes will be implemented over 6 seasons, alternating adjustments between the 2.
Proxy votes will be cast to Yes.

Ah, just rip the band-aid off. It won't be felt by teams because it'll reduce RS or Luxury tax, etc. Lower funded teams get access to the monies sooner rather than later.

I understand the sentiment but do not agree with it. The goal is try to massage the finances to make the league a little more competitive. What we emphatically do not want to do is jerk the finances of the top teams hard/fast enough such that they suddenly have to cut payroll at a serious disadvantage. If this goes through it will ultimately be a sacrifice on the part of the haves (who almost universally earned their status/income) to improve the league by helping the have-nots a little. Any changes that happen need to be made with this sacrifice in mind, and so be implemented with gratitude and not impatience. Granted, compared to the Revenue Sharing / Luxury Tax, gate share is pretty small potatoes. Even still.

This poll passes. Gate share will be increased by 5% tonight and an additional 5% in each of the next two season.
