NFL is king
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
No surprise here. NHL ticket sales is interesting
Where would college football rank - with the number of teams I would assume it would be just behind nfl?
As far as fan in arena/stadium experience it might be reversed. NFL has done such a good job for fans at home there really is no reason to go to the games and miss all the other action
Baseball plays 10x the games and still does half the money.
I love live hockey and love going to the Canes games, but it is nuts what they charge. I quit paying and only go on company or vendor tickets because it has become so ridiculous.
Apples and oranges. So many more teams. I don't think there can be an accurate comparison. But I would like to see a comparison between college football and basketball.
It would also be nice to see a comparison of the women's college sports- like basketball, hot oil wrestling, foxy boxing and such and such.
Great information. Thanks for posting!
Baseball relies on the 81 home games obviously. Baseball and NBA teams get a lot of revenue off local TV- I think that contributes to the inequality amongst the teams.
I think the NBA has such generous TV deals because they have so much appeal in the major markets. I do not get the appeal of NBA basketball. I love the sport but "today's NBA" is not fun to watch.

That is so true. Seems like the story for these franchises is revenue growth. I even hear it as a topic on sports talk radio. As a fan, there isn't much of anything I could care less about.
"Guys, the main topic for today's meeting is revenue growth. But first a quick update- the new Domus Aurea locker room will be finished once we finish the rotating ceiling with the 50 carat diamonds. And today's lunch is being catered in from Paris. "
Agree it’s apples and oranges but all the data is known on some level for D1 to compare. I thought it would be interesting to see. I agree it would be interesting to see the gap to basketball and if we had that we could compare to NFL too 😁
Yeah, that would be interesting if someone were to go through the work to analyze it. In my book, I shy away from the D1 comparison because of the inequity of it all. Of course, if Nebraska ultimately benefits from inequity of the system, I will turn a blind eye toward it and Go Big Red!
I remember back when the lighting sucked, they had a deal - 2 tickets, 2 beers and 2 hot dogs for $20
a few years ago I read college football is the biggest sport, and soccer second...probably because the sheer size of college football.
