I do find it unfair for one to have 2 home TV games and 1 Away game. And others 2 aways and 1 home. Sure the Tv revenue splits between both teams but those games are usually full.
Make it 4 games. 2 away, 2 home. Or keep the 3, and split ticket sales aswell.
There is no direct relation between the amount of arena revenue in the game and the fact that it is a TV game. When there is a TV game, you get the TV money (equal to both teams), and there is the effect to your FUTURE attendance, based on your result of the TV game. But on that game there is no more people in the arena just because the game is on TV.
And if you are worried about a possible advantage to the home team since he has a better chance of winning, and that because it's on TV will ahve a future effect on attendance, don't be. The effect caused by a TV game is based on expectations that are different for each team. If you are playing away, even if you lose but still put up a fight and lost just by a little, your fans can still be pleased and you can still get some increase in your future attendance. Meanwhile, if you lose at home in your tv game, you are in trouble.
