Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hilarious to me that Jerry's got a brand new state of the art stadium and his team's only worth a tad more (proportionally) than the Redskins, who play in a complete disaster of a stadium. Awesome. Because Jerry is in debt up to this facelift. In ten years, once the debt is paid down and the Cotton Bowl is a big deal agaon, that stadium will be a money press.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I cannot believe that the Steelers don't crack the top five or even the top ten.Congrats to the 'Skins though. I feel sorry for Raiders fans. The Steelers are not nearly as aggressive as they could be, and they play in a relatively small market. Still, if someone like Mark Cuban ever bought the Steelers, he could probably push them into the Top Five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Snyder's bankrolling of Tom Cruise, a certified nutjob, should ring alarm bells about his business smarts. Since 2005, Cruise has had a hard time finding roles because of his ignorant Scientology-based attacks on others. Cruise hasn't filmed a movie in which he starred in over two years (Valqueerie was filmed in 2007), and only is getting offered small roles now. Great move, Snyder.

You are off by a factor of 10. In any case the value of a franchise shouldn't mean anything to fans. Yeah but what's the diff, 10m or 100m, peanuts to them.

Rocky21 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Guess which one of the 32 teams makes the most money. I'll give you a hint. $35 parking and $8 beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 it really seems they should, they're losing a lot of revenue The Steelers are always #2 or #3 in terms of merchandise. They really can't do much better than that. Unfortunately, those sales are part of revenue sharing. Another factor to consider that the Terrible Towel has generated something like $3 million in sales this decade. And the Steelers don't see a dime of that as the copyright is owned by a charity. What they don't do is the individual deals for "The Official Mattress of the Washington Redskins," like Snyder does. And those kinds of sponsorships are not shared.

Chants Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The undeniable truth is that, yes, this is a business and profit defines success. The other undeniable truth? This team needs to win more or that profit is going to go *poof*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs to win more or that profit is going to go *poof*. I'm not sure about your second one. There are A LOT of loyal fans here. The only way I could see a mass exodus is if Snyder became cheap and that was the reason his on-field success suffers. As long as he's doing what he can to acquire talent, I don't see the team losing good fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 And we might not have a salary cap next year?? Can you say back to the Jack Kent Cooke days!! Go out and get anybody! A. I'm pretty confident that the league will shut down before it goes uncapped. B. Even if it did, it won't be that easy to just sign everyone.

goflyhelo Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 According to the lastest Forbes most valubale franchise, the Redskins come in 2nd behind Dallas. Here's the report: NEW YORK -- How 'bout them Cowboys? They're No. 1 in something even before the NFL season begins: total value. The Cowboys are worth $1.65 billion, the most of any U.S.-based sports franchise, according to Forbes magazine's annual rankings. Only Manchester United of the English Premier League is worth more worldwide, $1.87 billion. The Cowboys lead the rankings for the third straight year and are worth $100 million more than the runner-up Washington Redskins. New England is third at $1.361 billion, followed by the New York Giants ($1.183 billion) and Jets ($1.170 billion). In all, 19 teams are worth at least $1 billion, with the biggest gainer in Forbes' rankings the Patriots, Chargers, Bills and Buccaneers, each at 3 percent. Oakland has the least value, not even reaching half of Dallas' worth. The Raiders are worth $747 million, down 7 percent from the previous year. Eight teams saw their value decline in this year's rankings, and six had no change. Along with the Raiders, who had the biggest drop, Detroit, which comes off the first 0-16 season in NFL history, fell 6 percent; Indianapolis went down 5 percent; Miami dropped 3 percent; Seattle and St. Louis each fell 2 percent. Washington has the most revenues, $345 million, followed by New England at $302 million. At the bottom in revenues is Detroit with $206 million. The league average remains at $1.042 billion.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Sure they do, it's just that winning is usually profitable. Actually, that's not really true. Donald Starling figured out long ago that winning actually hurts the bottom line. And Mike Brown once complained about how much it cost to send the Bengals to the Super Bowl. From a pure profit standpoint, the best thing you can do as an NFL owner is to keep alternating between 5-11 seasons and 9-7 seasons. That way you always keep up the illusion of hope but never have to actually spend what it takes to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to purchase premium seats at the Staples Center, you have to buy Lakers, Clippers and Kings seats. The Clippers ride the Lakers success and get large revenues as a result regardless of the product they put on the court. Winning always leads to more profits in the NFL. NFL has revenue sharing of TV rights. You need a winner or at least one that was a winner at one point to fill premium seats, get large preseason TV contracts and to move merchandise.
