The profit during Super Bowl weekend can be anywhere between 11.5 billion dollars to 14.7 billion dollars. Including ticket sales, merchandise apparel, advertisement on radio broadcasting and TVs …etc. Nearly all profit is shared equally between the teams and licensing deals. Such monies contribute for the paying of player’s extreme contracts, gear, facilities…the list goes on and on. Being the most profitable organizations, the NFL remains at the top for years to come. One of the reasons …show more content…
The ticket price average by brokers was $10,352, an increase cost that tripled over the prior year’s prices. It has been reported that seats on the 50 yard line were a staggering $28,888. Also in Super Bowl XLIX, NBC set the sales rate for a 30-second advertisement at $4.5 million, a price $500,000 above the record set by two preceding Super Bowls. NBC also offered 15-second ad spots for auto industries to reduce their advertising time during the game to be replaced by a wave of fifteen first-time Super Bowl advertisers, including Skittles, Morphine and Carnival Cruise Lines. The Super Bowl is the most watched television program event of the year in 2012 the game recorded and posted 12 million live viewers and making a direct impact on the hosting city revenues especially in sport bars and restaurants shopping malls. However there is a bad side to it and that it’s also one of the biggest sports gambling affair of the year. According to the American Gaming Association, which signifies the country’s casino industry, predicts that there will possibly be $100 million worth of legal action around this year’s Super Bowl. That’s a microscopic fraction of the $3.8 billion in illegal bets expected to be placed on the weekend of the Super Bowl a big reason for that is the recent surge in popularity for large amount of bets things like the coin flip outcome or length of the National Anthem which one exec has argued are now even bigger than the game.

    Why Do NFL Teams Avoid?

    Some people think that in order for the NFL teams to be publicly owned fans would have to show equal support for every team. This make sense because a team like the Dallas Cowboys, who are already worth $4 billion, would sell more stocks than the Oakland Raiders , who are only worth $1 billion. The reason that is incorrect is that even the Oakland Raiders, making the lowest reneuve of any team, still makes more than enough money to support their franchise coming from their fans. The Raiders make 285 million dollars a year coming from fans in some way according to Forbes. That is a low income…

    Superbowl and culture

    Imagine 96.9 million people watching the same thing, ingesting copious amounts of food and beer, and cheering maliciously for a squad that may or may not be their team of choice. I grew up in South Africa where the Super bowl is not nearly as big as it is in the United States. I was naive to the idea of watching any big game besides the World Cup. When I moved to the US I did not know what the Super bowl was. 198 countries watch the Super bowl and it is aired in 25 different languages across the world. I can’t help but think to myself that this is just a game and I don’t really care who wins, even though my surrounding suggested otherwise. I am sitting in a room full of diehard Seahawks fans. All of the furniture has been moved to each wall in the little room so that everyone can see the big flat screen TV. Beers are cracked, chip bags are opened, and we are about to watch the most watched TV program in United States history, the Super Bowl. Bronco’s fans are turned away and the guys roar at them as they try to enter the small apartment. “If you are not supporting the Seahawks you can stand up and get the hell out” one of my friends yelled as non-supporters walked away. Bud Light is the beer of choice in the room and Doritos are the chip of choice. As the game is about to start the room ignites and everyone is immediately fired up. The commercials play through the loud chatter in the apartment and they seem to be unimportant except for a few that are considered memorable. The Super Bowl is a spectacle and there is nothing else like it. The Super Bowl is a large reflection of American culture. Through media, commercials, and the atmosphere that this game creates, patriotism and masculinity are unintentionally the main aspects of this spectacle.…

Anyway, this Superbowl Sunday started off just a little bit different than most Superbowl's I've had off from work and for any of this day to make any sense for anyone that wasn't there, I'm going to have to start by including some background information on the previous events that led up to this day.…

    Football season is coming to an end, and now new commercials for the Super Bowl are going to come out. Commercials during football games have been a big thing this year with companies involved in daily fantasy sports including Fanduel, and Draft Kings. There has been some major court cases based on daily fantasy sports with these companies. Some people say that fantasy sports should be illegal, and others say it should stay legal. Since then it has been a major argument if any daily fantasy sports should be legal or illegal. There are at least three simple arguments as to why fantasy sports should stay legal: fantasy sports are a game of skill, fantasy sports are not betting on one game or just one player, fantasy sports are legal according to the UIGEA.…

    Revenue sharing is what made the NFL a powerful and economically successful sports business model for these times. The then commissioner Pete Rozelle persuaded NFL governors to share the greater part of their revenues equally. With this method there wasn't much in it for big-market teams, but by agreeing to the system of socialism and by protecting the competitiveness of small-market teams such as Green Bay, they built the idea for the great commercial power it has become. Revenue sharing was a brilliant idea because it worked. It succeeded because network television sports were growing fast and massive; also football games were perfect TV property. Unlike baseball and basketball, football teams play once a week and this opened up the opportunity to turn each game into an event. National broadcasts contracts, divided equally without considering to market size, became the NFL'S vital source of revenue. Currently the NFL is carrying out a funded revenue program to help protect its small market franchises. The league already shares certain revenues but this new program would allow small market franchises to get money from an additional pool funded mostly by top revenue-generating teams. Other reasons why revenue sharing works is because NFL…
