Locals go to games to see their team win; are they going to pay big money for playoff tickets to see the heavily favored Saints? Doubt it.

At last year's Jets @ Bengals PO game there were seats still available on game day. Could see the same in St.Louis or Seattle

Most of the profits are shared but I don't believe all the stadium profits are.
I see your point about a playoff team not selling out the stadium, it happens but more often than not they do sell out. All I know is that the owners don't want to change the playoff criteria to go with wins vs division records and when they want something it comes down to money.
