Franchise Management
Revenue
Management:
1. League-wide Revenue
- TV/Radio
Broadcast Revenue is either negotiated individually by a franchise (in
which case the revenue is retained by the franchise) or collectively by
the league (in which case the revenue is shared according to the league's
revenue sharing arrangement). The broadcast rights contracts will be
renegotiated throughout the season and will change based on the
competitiveness and popularity of the league.
- Merchandising
Revenue is divided among franchises according to the league's revenue
sharing agreement. Total league merchandise revenue is determined by the
competitiveness and popularity of the league.
1.
Team-specific Revenue
- Ticket Revenue
will be divided between home and away teams for every contest according to
the league's revenue sharing arrangement. Ticket revenue will be
determined by attendance. Attendance will be dependent upon ticket prices,
the popularity and success of the home and away teams, and the size of the
local market. Ticket prices in four separate sections of the stadium
(lower, middle, upper, and luxury) will be set by the franchise owner and
may vary for each individual contest.
- Concessions
Revenue will be divided between home and away teams for every contest
according to the league's revenue sharing arrangement. Concessions revenue
will be determined by attendance. Attendance will be dependent upon ticket
prices, the popularity and success of the home and away teams, and the
size of the local market. Concession prices for hot dogs, nachos, beer,
and t-shirts will be set by the franchise owner and may vary for each
individual contest.
- Stadium
Sponsorship Revenues are not shared (each franchise receives an
individual sponsorship contract) and are only collected for the regular
season. For weeks 1 and 2 each franchise will receive a $1 million
sponsorship each week. For each week 3 through 10, the teams will receive
sponsorships depending on team performance.
