Xmad Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Merchandise and ratings will probably see a boost. Easily the worst NFL attendance record will be set this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The NFL relies more on TV revenue. Especially in comparison to the other leagues. They’ll take a hit, but not catastrophic hit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Teams are going to be in the red, but I think they’ll be okay long term. Judging from the Packers financials, their mix is roughly 60% is national revenue, 40% local. Most of the local revenue (game day/sponsorships) is probably dead. National TV money will come in though. Throw in depreciation on these tax payer funded stadiums doesn’t have a cash hit, the business will be fine. Ratings will be down. It’s an election year which has historically lead to drops (Fox News is beating many nba games...). Throw in Covid market saturation right now with every sport going on and I could easily see a double digit drop. Networks are inflating numbers though this year counting out of home numbers though for the first time so that might offset some of the dip.
