I don’t know how teams will continue to play their players these big contracts especially when some of these owners’ wealth mostly comes from the team itself.
Eventually superstar players have $500 million contracts with team salary caps of $200 million.
It seems like this never-ending quest to make more profits. Profits from stadium concessions and ticket sales can only increase by so much. Eventually they will price out the average fan.
Most fans won’t be able to afford $200 nosebleeds, $100 parking, $50 beers, $20 hotdogs & pretzels.
Not happening.
They’re only going up.
Also the average fan has already been priced out in many markets. In smaller markets it’s more reasonable, or if the team sucks. It’s not nearly as bad as NFL price wise to see a game though.
In general entertainment events are more of a luxury now than a normal activity.
