- The Boston Celtics LP, "the publicly traded partnership stands to lose
one-third
of its annual revenue before the end of next month if the NBA
player-owner 
standoff continues..."

- "The economic impact of each Celtics game is $1 million."

- Thursday, the "partnership said it had an operating loss of $3.7
million for the
quarter ended Sept. 30..."

- "... Celtics units fell 31 cents to $10.81" Thursday.

- The partnership "derives revenue mainly from ticket sales and
broadcast
contracts.  The revenue stream dries up when games aren't played."

- "the shutdown's effects are likely to show up in a big way when the
current
quarter results come in... The company is refunding money to season
ticket holders
for unplayed games, and the cash it is collecting from broadcasters is
expected
to come out of future revenue."
