Giants Worth $2.8 Billion According To New Forbes List

Giants should win more games with that kind of dough.

because of Brady and BB. After Brady retires I could see BB stepping down. Without those two I think they cant charge as much for tickets and may not sell out. Less merchandise.

considerable retail and entertainment center around that stadium. Patriot Place or whatever. Probably adds to the value of the brand.

and retail business lacking.

I find it refreshing. It's about the football and the team

Haha, pretty amazing really.

..salary cap?

be worth more if they owned Metlife outright instead of sharing with the Jets. I recall reading that's it's the highest grossing stadium in the world. Unlike some stadiums in other cities, they've managed to put together a pretty robust calendar of events each year so that it's not just the football games. Although if the Giants were the sole tenant the total amount of NFL dates on the calendar would obviously be cut in half.

expensive Soup Can

I believe he's significantly responsible for both the NFL greed and the leagues aggressive revenue growth.

The NHL could use some of his magic

Except #1; he opts out from the NFL's licensed merchandise agreement, partners with the Yankees for food concessions, pockets ALL the revenue from his stadium and naming rights.

His team can rule the NFC East cellar forever, doesn't matter.

Realignment will NEVER affect his team (even though, geographically he belongs in the NFC West). His Cowboys will always play THE BIG TOWN (NY) because that's where he will always belong - in the limelight.

In summary, he understands something better than ANYBODY in the sports business - It's ALL about the BRAND.

I remember when he first opened the new stadium, he spoke of it as a temple (and himself as a caretaker priest). Can we say the same thing about MetLife (flawed as it is and sharing it with the flea-bitten Jets) ?

You hit the nail on th head. He soared right past brand recall and educated/entertained/etc a market straight to brand equity. An amazing job

in a giant Toaster.

Giants? BS.

The Knicks own their own arena, in the middle of NYC. Prime real estate. And their own network. They print money. If the NBA didn't have a salary cap it would be a George Steinbrenner Yankees-type advantage compared to most NBA teams.

...

why?

Good question. According to local news on the story, it's a 35% increase over 2015.

Mara and Johnson achieved something extraordinary with the number of nights Metlife is booked. It defies a lot of the normal economics and cautionary tales of building a football stadium.

not charged their fans to buy PSL's, and if the difference is really that meaningful too them?

The Cowboys staying in the NFC East doesn't just benefit the Cowboys, it benefits the Giants, Redskins, and Eagles as well, not to mention the NFL in general. In fact, when they changed to four divisions, the Cowboys had to agree to play the Cardinals in the preseason every year as consolation for their move to the NFC West. The Cardinals didn't want to go.

be public, and traded with citizen ownership given that taxpayers are always paying for their stadiums to some or all extents.

NFL ownership a modern day equivalent of a slavery plantation.

Horribly inaccurate analogy.

You are too kind - I would go with blazingly idiotic.

.

ask the NJ taxpayers that are still paying for a stadium that has been torn down years ago....yeah pretty idiotic...

empty parking lot outside of the current stadium

Of what happened to slaves on plantations?

Yup, still idiotic.

Next year the Dallas brand will be worth even more. This summer Dallas opens their new training complex, and it's not just a training complex.

Jones has set it up where it will be a travel destination. There is a 16 story five star hotel with shops and places to frequent all year round.

Jones has also partnered with a major hospital to give Dallas the most advanced training and sports medicine facility in the US.

Dallas has also partnered with the community with their 12,000 seat stadium so the Frisco school district will be able to use for their sporting events. Jones being a good neighbor.

The cost for this complex so far has been put at around 1.5 billion, and the site has not been completely developed.

I say next year Forbes will have the Dallas Cowboys brand in the 5 billion dollar range, easily the most in the world.

Motivations are altruistic, he's just a world-class marketeer.

As far as Dallas moving out of the NFC East, I agree it's not going to happen. The rivalries just generate too much interest (and money for the NFL). If the Cowboys were in Seattle, the same would apply.

As far as the Cards reference, they're loser no-bodies (last NFL Championship, 1947). Nobody cares what they want.

In San Antonio. The Raiders want out of Oakland, and if the don't end-up in Las Vegas, the might jump to "San-Tone".

That would drive Jones to pull out all of his pubic hair because he sincerely believes San-Tone loves him.
