BarleyNY Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Obviously advertising dollars is where the networks make their money back. My point is the NFL is just different than all other TV contracts and it's not derived from a formula of dollars from advertising. Like ESPN pays 3-4 times as much as the other networks. There are a lot of reasons for that. One is they can then gouge cable companies for a bigger share of monthly bill. Their games are prime time. Because it's weekday they get more highlight rights and their pregame show is an entire other money generator. They get more digital rights than the others. Cbs just spent an extra billion for Thursday's. That makes them not have to produce or buy so many shows for their lineup. They cut out three hours of prime time shows. It also allowed them to move their biggest show to Monday to hurt the other networks. They also over pay just to get a Super Bowl every four years because that draws so much attention to your network. One could argue that the main chunk of that is advertising dollars but they pay SO much more, every penny they can spend, because they cannot afford not to. They would lose too much prestige. And the loss leader concept. Because the NFL is so huge. They actually pay about $2 for every person who watches each game. ESPN pays $8. The incredible premiums paid by ESPN aren't sustainable though. The model was put into practice how you stated, but it isn't working. Disney's (ESPN's parent company) stock plummeted from 120 to 95 last year due primarily to those kinds of deals by ESPN. It's also why there have been so many cost cutting moves made by ESPN of late. They spent crazy to corner the market on a lot of sports, but didn't realize that the non-sports watchers would cut the cable and stop subsidizing the sports enthusiasts. It is a huge issue with ESPN right now and there isn't a clear way out. They've locked themselves in with the cable/dish companies and really can't go a la carte.

Mr. WEO Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thousands of empty seats? Are you daft? Dodger attendance from 2010 thru 2014 was 17 million plus. The only team with more was the Yankees, by about 300,000. In 2015, it was just shy of 3.8 million. The Dodgers have led MLB attendance in 8 out of the last 12 seasons. On top of that, everything about a Dodgers game is highly expensive, from parking, to tickets, to concessions. It will cost you at least as much as a Bills game. Here's a link on MLB attendance: http://www.ballparksofbaseball.com/attendance.htm Daft? What's the capacity for Dodgers Stadium? 56,000. Their best season they averaged 47,000. As recently as 2011 it was 36,000. That's thousands of empty seats. Agreed, they may show up late & leave early but the Dodgers always have good attendance. Not sure what that poster was talking about. see above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxum Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 It's impossible to predict. Sure. And IMO it's at least eight years away, three to build the thing, five for the novelty to wear off. Hell, half the people in LA don't even know what football is. Sure they do, it is played with a round, white ball and we have riots after it and sometimes during the game.

Saxum Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 "As part of Tuesday's compromise, the NFL promised the Chargers and the Raiders each $100 million for new stadiums if they stay in San Diego and Oakland, respectively. " http://ktla.com/2016/01/13/los-angeles-rams-likely-to-begin-playing-at-coliseum/ Stay put, no $550M relocation fee , sounds like the best option to me. Don't they already offer $100M to teams getting new stadiums or is this money they get in addition to regular share NFL pays and do they need to remodel/get new stadium? The San Antonio Raiders? Report: Raiders have secured land near San Antonio for possible move San Antonio is the obvious under served market. I wonder if New Orleans has squatters' rights just like Raiders used to claim for LA. @AroundTheNFL Rams unveil new logo at news conference http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000623189/article/rams-unveil-new-logo-during-la-news-conference Rams should have renamed with move; it would have generated a lot more merchandise. How does the LA Jam (as in traffic jam) sound to you? he says san antonio has alot of cowboy fans Should have encouraged them to buy the tickets from the scalpers this year; Jerry's house was not his house for part of 2015.

boyst Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 i'd rather have the raiders move to los angeles and charges to OKC this idea of chargers to okc - the okc thunder and the okc chargers... all they'd need is the now defunct toledo storm echl team.
