Because a good football team that sells out every game only plays ax maximum 11 homes games a year. Let’ say the stadium holds 60,000. Even at 9 games that’s 540,000 a year. If a bad baseball team draws 15,000 a game. at 81 games that’s 1,215,000 a season. There is also a tradition of tailgating at football games that baseball games don’t have. I’m not saying that stadiums are a bad investment. But I am saying that NFL stadiums are a bad investment. At most, a team plays 11 home games. The worst baseball team plays 81 home games with a minimum of 15,000 tickets sold. Here in Cincinnati the Reds have a much more positive impact in the downtown economy even though the Bengals are SB contenders and the Reds are a last place team.

There is a stadium in downtown Cincinnati. It sits there like an albatross except for 8-9 times a year. The baseball stadium drives more traffic to restaurants and bars down even though the Reds have been bad for a decade.

As a fan of a team with a rich owner, the only thing that I care about in contracts are term and cap hit. I don’t care about the cash. It’s not my money.

He’s using Twitter to get Jerry to up his offer. He’ll be a Cowboy before next week is out.

Bobby Wagner - the solution to the Edmunds problem
Low Positive replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s in California to pick up Jessie after Indian Wells and fly her to the next tournament in Miami. -
What would you trade for Jerry Jeudy?
Low Positive replied to RocCityRoller's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree with this 100%. It’s also why I don’t understand why fans post combine stats for players with NFL film. -
Bills Fans Call Out Cole Beasley for ‘Slander’
Low Positive replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall
In a vacuum, I don’t have any problem with what he tweeted. Maybe it was a bit hyperbolic, but he can express his opinion. But it does seem like a long way from “I love you Josh Allen” and saying that the only place that he wants to continue playing is in Buffalo. Cole needs to learn how to stop arguing with fans online and burning bridges. But he seems to have really thin skin and he always takes the bait. Same goes for Stefon Diggs, but there is another thread for that. -
Suitable Edmunds Replacements in the draft
Low Positive replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
Nobody in the NFL had Pacheco as a difference maker last year, including the Chiefs. They took a flyer on a fast small kid in the 7th and got lucky. -

Low Positive replied to RocCityRoller's topic in The Stadium Wall
The type of fans that would post on an NFL message board in March also pay a lot of attention to the draft and probably had him highly rated coming out of ‘Bama. -
This is a strong draft for TEs and a weak one for almost every other position.
-
We focus on Gronk and Kielce as pass catchers, but they are also both really great blockers. It adds to them as weapons because they can block and release and it’s believable.

Bills don’t have a 7th round pick.
-
Only thing that I can think of is that the defenders have gotten faster and stronger.
-
If he is so bad that you don't want him on the Bills, why do you care where else he goes?
-
Do the Jets actually plan on keeping Zach Wilson in the locker room as the backup? That ought to work out just great, what with Zach's team-first attitude.

Singletary—inarguably above average statistically: discuss
Low Positive replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall
So, I have it on good authority that Devin Singletary is above average statistically but could not start on any of the other 31 NFL teams. I read it on the Internet, so it must be true. -
Beane still looking to add big bodied RB to roster
Low Positive replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
No, it’s because of how much Josh throws. And the fact that we already have Jimbo Cook. A RB like Foreman or Williams needs touches to get a bigger payday in their next contract. -
In 2021, Burrow held the ball waiting for Chase to get open downfield. He got sacked a lot. So they invested a lot of money in the OL in the offseason. In the early part of 2022, they tried the same offense and Burrow still got sacked a lot and they were losing. This all came to a head during a Halloween night blowout loss to the Browns where Burrow got sacked 5 times. The next week was the bye week. After that, the ball started coming out a lot quicker and the sacked dropped and they went on a winning streak. How do I know this? I live in Cincinnati and I hear the local chatter and watch the games. Fans left this team for dead after that loss to the Browns and were calling for Zach Taylor’s head.
