Good article from Forbes. It seems bums on seats is still a thing for successful teams.

Owner Jerry Jones can’t rely on international revenue streams to boost his team’s fortunes like the elite soccer clubs, but he built a gold-plated ATM in AT&T Stadium. The venue that opened in 2009 generates more than $100 million a year in premium seat revenue via luxury suites and club seating and $150 million from sponsors, including the team’s practice facility. Non-football events at the $1.2 billion stadium, along with tours of what is affectionately known as Jerry World, kick off tens of millions of dollars more.

Once ANZ and Alliance are upgraded they’ll put the NRL on the world map!!!

I assume that’s what Todd and his henchmen think in their alter universe

Hard to imagine Americans tossing off about how good they are.

Don't worry, the NRL have outsmarted them all with a revenue model based on selling the soul of the game for massive broadcast deals. Who cares if no one can make the game on Thursday night, so long as it rates well and the TV companies can sell gambling advertising during the later time slot. It's sustainable too, there's no pressure on TV advertising, the TV industry is booming and the next generation of fans are loving their teams playing after bed time.

This!!! Sports betting is out of control in this country in general and the amount of ‘lets get a market update from sportsbet/tab’ is becoming unbearable. You can’t tell me that the level of money being exchanged on sport is not influencing the outcomes to some extent.

But please remember gamble responsibly.

What a load of crock!!!

Welcome to NRL circa 2020, absolutely NOTHING like ARL circa 1990.

All about,

TV ratings
TV revenues through advertising

Sausage roll eaters are totally irrelevant!
