The Cubs should have a little bump in the payroll next year too. Attendance was up 300,000 so that could be $13+ million in revenue, the TV contract has a little bump tooted the additional playoff money. Are the rooftops under the Cubs umbrella or part of a separate company for the Ricketts?

If I understand the reports, the Ricketts family owns several of the rooftops separately from the Cubs, but all rooftops, including those owned by the Ricketts family pay a percentage of their receipts to the Cubs.  I don't remember the exact number, but 18 % rings a bell.
