Where do NFL teams make their money?
A topic of conversation from a friend and myself.
Broadcasting rights, merch, tickets, and parking/concessions were the three target sources of income. But for your average NFL team, what percentage do these all usually account for? Anybody have inside knowledge of the biz? |

I think most of it is TV contracts. FOX, NBC, and ABC pay $1 billion a year for the rights. ESPN pays $1.9 billion. Now not every team is getting a yearly check for $156 million, but you get the point. Then comes individual sponsorships and tix sales, merch, and parking and concessions.
I'll put it this way, I wish I owned an NFL team. |

Considering our last few years, I'd guess it was on the beer. Jackson County gets the cash on the parking.

TV money pays for the players.
Tickets, marketing, merch, etc. pay the rest including the cash for signing bonuses. |

It's ALL broadcast rights. Stadium and merch are a tiny slice of the overall pie.
They're earning a minimum of $3 billion a year for TV broadcast rights (if not $4 billion) and that's set to increase shortly. |

The Forbes article I linked above estimates current NFL revenues at over $8 billion, so TV revenue is about half of that. The rest is from stadium, parking, merchandising etc. That doesn't count the side businesses some of these teams have, of course. Stadium naming rights, TV and radio partnerships (non-game), other sponsorships, etc. ad infinitum.

So what happens during a blackout? Assuming somebody like the Jags can't get butts in the seats.
Who is getting penalized? How much? |
