NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Depression anyone? Not in Dallas.
Recession make you shy? Not in Dallas.
Layoffs bothering you? Not in Dallas.
The Dallas Cowboys have a new stadium and plan on making an extra 90 million bucks!
Roy Williams cannot believe all those high priced seats
The Cowboys will have some premium priced club seats that could win them the triple crown of football franchising. They could become the most profitable franchise, the most revenue producing franchise, and the most valuable franchise.
The real revenue magic, year after year, is in the 15,000 club seats that didn’t exist at Texas Stadium and in the 300 suites, which can hold an additional 12,000 or so fans. Together, these premium areas make up more than a third of the base capacity at the new stadium and account for more than two-thirds of the team’s estimated revenue gains. Suite capacity at Texas Stadium was about 7,500.
At $340 a game, the club seats potentially can generate up to $50 million a year in new ticket revenue, some of it shared with the rest of the league and some of it used to pay off a league loan used during stadium construction.
