Team expenditures for the 2006 season alone amounted to about NT $ 200 million. After deducting fees for broadcasting rights, ticket sales, and peripheral product profits, the deficit stood at some NT $ 80 million. That's not chump change for a medium-sized enterprise like La New.
以 2006 年球季為例，球隊整年支出約 2 億元，扣掉轉播權利金、票房收入以及周邊商品販售，虧損約 8000 萬元，以 La New 中型企業規模，負擔實在太大。
