Found this online today and it's kind of fascinating. Wish it covered more than the big four (MLS, WNBA, minor leagues, golf, etc), but there are the ones most comparable to each other, and it's amazing how different they are.

The Dodgers and Yankees consistenly lead the league in attendance, for decades
I think Dodger Stadium has the largest seating capacity
The local televions deals have become more lucrative in the last 20 years because of cable, streaming and MLB network
Edit:
In 1995, Jerry Jones signed a partnership with Nike and Coke. NFL sued Jones for breach of contract since NFL had exclusive partnerships with Reebok and Pepsi. Jones then made a slight change: the partnership with Nike and Coke was for Texas Stadium which falls outside NFL control. He created a new revenue stream for himself and the team.

Jones is fascinating, probably as involved an owner as any I've seen over the decades (even George Steinbrenner), and very on top of ways to increase the money he's raking in.

Very smart business man
He bought the cowboys for 140 million in 1989, today they are the most valuable franchise in N America, estimated at 13 billion
Previously he made his millions in oil, a very risky venture (watch Landman)
