2003 Reds Finances May Have Finished in the Black
Citing team sources, the Cincinnati Enquirer says that the Reds earned $2.5 million in 2003, after losing a claimed $27 million from 2000-02.
The Reds fell almost 450,000 fans short of their projected attendance of 2.8 million in The Great American Ballpark's first season. Injuries, and midseason trades of almost everyone of value, didn't help. The Reds expect to open the 2004 season with a payroll of $46 million, down $13 million from Opening Day 2003.
