NFL Team Values Rise Along with Ticket Prices
10 Sep
Forbes has released their valuation of NFL teams, with the average team value now exceeding $1 billion! Also, to make NFL fans sick if they haven’t bought their single game tickets yet: on average tickets are up 8%.
I realize Forbes doesn’t value based on season outlook, but it’s kind of fun to take a look at it that way. The interesting part of the list is the first 5 teams is that only 1 is favored to go deep into the playoffs after Week 1. The top 5 teams are:
1. Dallas Cowboys ($1.612 billion) – Were favored in the NFC to begin the year, and after they played well in Cleveland have a strangle-hold on that conference.
2. Washington Redskins ($1.538 billion) – Does this just include their payroll? One of the highest paid teams again, that will not make the playoffs. Of course, they are in the same division as the Cowboys and Giants, who are to come.
3. New England Patriots ($1.324 billion) – Well, they were favored to begin the year. I think this is what my accountant would call “an impaired asset!”
4. New York Giants ($1.178 billion) – Super Bowl winners gain in value, and of course, they should compete. However, the Cowboys will top them on another list by the end of the season!
5. New York Jets ($1.17 billion) – So, that means that the New York name is worth something around a billion, and players that win the NFL Championship are worth $8 million. You cannot seriously say that the Jets are just a little behind the Giants!
