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.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
