Dolphins owners says there will be NFL games, with asses in the seats

[RememberTheKoy]

I think fans will be in attendance for the games.

And: According to Radio + Television Business Report (RBR.com) the age of live sports viewers is scewing older. Much older. Today the average NFL viewer is at least 50.Jul 29, 2019

Jus sayin....

Interesting and those that are younger have older parents, co-workers, neighbors, doctors, etc. The only old people die argument for going out is just moronic. As soon as you hear someone say that you know there isn't much actually thinking and processing going on upstairs.

Many of those in this pic from this weekend are probably young, but will in the next two weeks cross paths with someone who isn't. I'll say it again, our stupidity makes us our own worst enemy:

my family had patriots season tickets.

until 1992. my dad didnt renew. next year, parcells and bledsoe came in and the rest is history.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Their parents buy them.

If they're dead?

 

[GNG]

Haha...I'm talking 40 years ago when I used to go to Texas Stadium on a regular basis.
And Arlington Stadium.
Those were the days.

I'm only 40 so I don't remember that.

 

[GNG]

If they're dead?

Then they're screwed.

 

[The Derski]

There will be fans in the stands.

South Korean sex dolls?

 

[GNG]

South Korean sex dolls?

Regular fans.

Dolphins owner: NFL season will happen with fans

I didnt realize that there were enough Republicans to do that

the nfl will die without stadium revenue. its a majority of where player salaries are derived.
fanless games would kill the league. as with most others.

Baseball maybe, not NFL, which gets a lot more from the TV deals.

Not entirely...but as we know it today...yes, that would be gone.

According the Forbes...stadium revenues represent 38% of total league revenue.

That varies by team...DAL would lose nearly 50% since they by far generate the most stadium revenue. In contrast BUF, CIN, among others would lose less than a 3rd.

The lionshare of NFL revenue stems from TV money for most teams. But...funding signing bonuses, from my understanding some portion of that comes from stadium revenues...maybe salaries as you mentioned, but I don't think the league would go under w/o fans.

Small pie, smaller pro football salaries, but the game would go on I think as long as people would tune it to watch.

correct, about 2/3 of the money comes from TV. i thought it was the other way around. still, 30% comes form stadium revenue. thats a lot.

No doubt it's a lot. But pretty sure they are OK as long as they get the TV money. Isn't to say they don't also want the money from fans in the stands.

And before anyone says anything - Yes I realize that this is not the political forum - but well, I just couldn't resist

Reportedly these numbers are based off 2018...but are probably in the credible ball park.

The Stadium Revenue Each NFL Team Will Lose If Games Are Played Without Fans

 

[CaptainStubing]

I hope this is true. This whole thing has gone on too long

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Yeah I think they survive for sure...but owners like Jerry Jones, Kroenke and Blank would have a heavy pill to swallow as well as the city of Vegas and others that have funded these newer venues.

Bottomline...we wouldn't be looking at a $40 mil per player.

 

[Manster7588]

Fan should be in the stands, especially with the CDC changing their stance on Covid transmission by touching surfaces.

makes me think of the scene in "interstellar" where they are watching "the yankees" play baseball.

"One of the extraordinarily small yet extremely vivid bits of the scene setting is a baseball game. It’s on what looks like a small, minor league field in the middle of a farming community. One team is a local nine made up of what are presumably amateurs. The other team: the New York Yankees. Which still exist, but have been reduced to a barnstorming, probably semi-pro situation. They have a banner on the wall welcoming “The World Famous New York Yankees,” for example."

If this thing went nuts...it was already heading that way, but I could see re-configurated seating into "pods" with the upper crust having what would amount to private suites throughout. I'm sure Jerrah could scrap 500 people to buy a season POD for $100k a season.

The common man wouldn't be able to go see a live football game...lol
