If a team rents their arena, items such as fixed signage, temporary signage, and luxury suites are included in the plan at 100%. If the team controls their arena with no cotenants, the team must include these items at 70%. For a team that has another professional team as a cotenant, the respective inclusion percentage is 40%. Post-season revenues and expenses are excluded from the revenue sharing calculation.
