Question about the uncapped year...

How does the spend-friendly nature of the cappless year affect the prices of tickets, merchandise, concessions, etc.? Prices raise to cover the cost or lower to attract more customers to hopefully pull in more income or no effect at all?

Didn't remember it being brought up in the thread that SLJ started and I'm too lazy to look for it. Someone wanna help a brotha out?

I figure each team is a separate entity based on the economics of the team and community. For the Panthers I figure that management knows what they need to make to be profitable and what the market will bear so they price it accordingly. Ticket prices didn't go up last year so I wouldn't be surprised if they go up a few dollars. With PSLs, they get a full paying stadium regardless so I doubt they go down. I did read that next year they are changing from managing the concessions themselves to using an outside vendor. I understand it is out for bid as we speak. I have no idea whether that will mean higher prices or not.

As far as how our ticker prices compare to other stadiums, we are below. The average in the NFl is $72.20, we are at $63.32. From lowest to highest we are 8th. Buffalo is 1st at $51.24 while New England is last at $117.84

Wonder what made them go to outside vendors. Granted, I will not complain if concession selection improves, especially beer choices.

Probably saves money by farming it out. They can be assured a certain profit without the headaches and expense of running it. Apparently at least half the teams in the league do it.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
