Not the point @concise is making.
Big leagues are not entirely dependent on ticket sales because TV contracts should be massive.

Interesting to note is that they all have the similar revenue from ticket sales.
However, consider that the NFL only plays 17 regular season games compared to the 80+ from the others. When they say those stadiums are packed, they aren't lying. It's like a major concert or Wrestlemania every weekend, just a straight up vibe.
Overall maintenance costs got to be lower for them if they only have to pay personnel working their stadiums 8-12 times a year while other leagues got to pay that maintenance cost 40+ times.
It's almost football season again too.

honestly I was pleasantly surprised by their #s
comparable to the Premier League and ahead of the other top soccer/ lgs
if they had better leadership they could do better on tv / media deals. they just lack vision on how to market/produce their product well

American sports league shouldn’t be compared to soccer leagues because our leagues are closed and you have to pay to enter.
Premier League isn’t like that.
Yea, look at the NBA and NHL, they run the same 82 game schedule + playoffs and make almost the same money in tickets and concessions, difference is national TV.
MLB and NFL barely make more in gameday revenue and it is their national TV contracts that are making the difference.

I was about to say. The NHL is poor man.
In all fairness a good half of North America never has seen ice or even played hockey. I think they're doing alright considering
Yup garbage tv deal. Soon an nba player will make more than the whole salary cap for a nhl team
ticket + concessions plus parking
- NFL: (17% + 6%) of $18.7 billion → 23% of $18.7B = $4.30 billion
- MLB: (31% + 10%) of $10.9 billion → 41% of $10.9B = $4.47 billion
- NBA: (26% + 8%) of $10.9 billion → 34% of $10.9B = $3.71 billion
- NHL: (44% + 12%) of $6.8 billion → 56% of $6.8B = $3.81 billion
