CWI Finances - Game Attendance

Wed, Jul 22, '26 at 1:24 PM

CWI recently secured a loan for several $M, and it seems they have burned through several $M over the past 3 years. During that period, we have had at least 2 home series per year. I agree that people don't care about the game the way past generations did, and therefore don't attend games at the same levels.

So, I will ask why games are held in countries (territories) where crowds are historically very sparse. At almost all professional sporting events worldwide, the event summary includes attendance numbers, except CWI events. Why? How do we know what % of the crowd are paying patrons? Transparency is important, so can we start here? How can CWI repay the loan?

Can someone shed any light on my inquiries?
