Depends how you mean 'biggest'. The most valuable US team is the Rangers. Detroit is 2nd among US teams, 4th overall.
Also, gate revenue is a very tiny portion of the pot that is TV contracts and advertising revenue. Its more the spectical of over 100,000 watching the game that makes the Big House part of the equation
