I made an effortpost in the n/v thread but the Seahawks are a cash cow in Seattle, and they have a stadium that's up to date. They aren't moving.

Benne posted:OKC jokes aside, I see no reason to worry about the Seahawks' future. They got a comfy stadium deal and established themselves as one of the league's most stable franchises. The Panthers just went for $2 billion and if the team goes up for sale, they'll comfortably beat that. (I know there are reports of Jody Allen possibly sticking around because she loves the Seahawks and will want to honor her brother's legacy, but in a soulless capitalist world, she'll likely just take the retirement money). Basically we've come a long way from the days of Paul Behring opening up offices in Anaheim. I'm kinda nervous in terms of the new owner/s potentially being a Snyder-esque type, but the team isn't going anywhere. Portland sports guy has been pretty adamant that the Blazers are unlikely to move, based on how well they do in the region. I dont follow anything NBA, so I just take his word for it. Something about being a popular franchise/big draw in a small market.

swims posted:Biased thread but- would you rather start the Carr or CJ Beatheard. Cj Beathard for me. If nothing else, he actually takes hits and does whatever he can to avoid the rush while someone comes open downfield. Carr is playing very badly right now and I am honestly worried for him mentally. He's also not hitting throws downfield at all which Beathard did okay at. Beathard still throws way too shallowly and misses too many throws, but he's totally acceptable. I'm okay with watching him play this season. If the niners hadn't come away from the run they would've had this one. As it is, I'm impressed with them for playing the Packers in Lambeau so well that they were a hair away from winning. I really didn't like that call

Everyone in this thread will be relieved to know that Cooper Kupp only has a sprained MCL and will be week to week. Doubt he plays this week against the 49ers though.

As population increases, and as revenue increases, and as a bunch of other stuff continues, the valuation will increase. Plus the direct income stream from the franchise. There’s no reason to sell.

Yeah valuations are going up around the league. The next franchise to sell will set a record, as will the one after that and so on. Very little reason to sell right now assuming you like money

iirc media revenue is shared leaguewide, so what matters for the team's bottom line is attendance, merch, licensing, etc. That is reactive to things like star power and wins, but if the team keeps filling seats.and selling jerseys then who cares. But as investments, nfl teams suck. Owning a team is a prestige thing for billionaires. The opportunity cost is likely negative, meaning, selling and investing the money elsewhere probably pays better. So what it really comes down to is whether the new owner gives a poo poo about being an nfl owner or not. Financially, it's a wash at best.

Actually, you will find that they make money and have consistently quick increases in valuation.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Actually, you will find that they make money and have consistently quick increases in valuation. Alright, I'll take a closer look. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2017/09/18/the-dallas-cowboys-head-the-nfls-most-valuable-teams-at-4-8-billion/#476554f8243f quote:The average NFL franchise is worth $2.5 billion, up 8% by FORBES’ count over last year. The Dallas Cowboys were the only NFL team worth $2 billion five years ago. Now all but five of the NFL’s 32 teams are worth at least $2 billion (the Buffalo Bills bring up the rear at $1.6 billion). $101M per team on a 2.5B valuation is not that great. It may be excellent by the standards of sports teams in general, but by the standard of billionaires making money on their investments, a 4% annual return - and note, that's EBITDA, so not actual realized cash return - is kinda poo poo. The Cowboys are quoted as the most valuable franchise, but again - a valuation of $4.8B with profits of $350M (no idea if those "profits" are EBIDTA, but probably) is an 7.3% annual return. That's... well, not bad. quote:New and renovated stadiums are adding to team coffers. The Vikings opened $1.1 billion U.S. Bank Stadium last year and venue revenue jumped more than $60 million, pushing the Vikings value up 9% to $2.4 billion (the Vikings had a 38% gain last year ahead of the opening). This is part of the reason teams love to beg for public money for their new stadiums. If the new stadium permanently returns $60M of profit (and note that's revenue, so not even EBIDTA but just raw earnings) that's a 6% annual return. However. The value of NFL teams has been increasing, and this is by far the larger source of money for NFL owners, if they sell. quote:The Dallas Cowboys were the only NFL team worth $2 billion five years ago. Now all but five of the NFL’s 32 teams are worth at least $2 billion (the Buffalo Bills bring up the rear at $1.6 billion). Dallas is special and Seattle definitely isn't Dallas. But if the team is going up in value consistently - and that has a lot to do with business decisions like favorable licensing deals - then yeah, that's a great return. If you sell. If you never sell, then you never realize that increase in value. You can borrow against it, which you might do I guess if you didn't have something else to sell for cash (you probably do). It's probably a big part of the dick-waving between billionaires that goes on all the time, because even the fabulously rich are insecure pricks who constantly compare themselves to everyone else in their perceived peer group. Hanging onto the team would make financial sense if the new owner prefers to think about selling sometime later, if/when team valuations seem to plateau? In the meantime, the cashflow generated by an average NFL team is unimpressive compared to the value. Despite the gushiness of the linked article.

Do those numbers include all of the tax breaks or even aide revenue streams like advertising and things like that? Or just straight ticket sales, merch and TV rights?

They do, yes. However, Forbes is making educated guesses about a lot of the numbers; other than the Packers, none of the teams are public companies, so they don't have to make quarterly public financial reports. They're undoubtedly in the right region of correct, but could be off by millions here or there. The article actually discusses licensing revenue streams a lot, as that's one of the things Jerry Jones is doing very well to generate more money for himself.
