Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal

This is excellent news (from Schefter's FB Page):

"Adam Schefter
More at ESPN: If and when agreement is reached, all players with 4, 5 and 6 years of service are expected to be unrestricted free agents."

And the thing that is keeping him in the stadium more than anything is the implosion in the real estate market (since cities have figured out that stadiums are not the revenue generators they are made out to be). That land is worth a mint 10 years ago. Enough to build him a new stadium. Now...not so much.

Not all stadiums generate revenue but I'm FedEx brings in pretty good money for the 8 to 10 games palyed there. You to remember all the taxes raised off food, rooms, beer, etc... for 90,000 people. Also that land 10 yrs back was in the middle of the shit and I'd say its worth allot more today then back when the stadium was built.

48% sounds good to me. Im guessin they are going to agree to something in this ballpark so why not make it happen in the next few weeks instead of fighting for the next few months over a percent or 2.

1-2 percent would be hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?

What matters is how much it is worth today. He'd need the cash from it to fund building a new stadium. If he can't sell it for enough then he'll have to find other sources of funding. And the point is that cities aren't chomping at the bit to throw a bunch of money towards stadium construction/"urban renewal" projects since the revenue generated by the "renewal" has shown to be far less than expected in many cases around the country.

You mean millions right? Fighting for 90-180 MILLION is probably worth it to both sides.

Is the bottle 48% full or 2% empty?

over the mountain · 06-21-2011, 04:20 PM

If its 9 bil, 1% is 9 mil dollars. (i hope, geez that BA in accounting was worth it)

If the league makes a profit of 18 bil (or was it 16 bil in the article?) in 2016, youre talking 18 mil per percent point.

Yeah 9 to 18 mil is alot in a vacuum of perspective, but consider the total dollar amounts, both parties have to lose alil to gain alil imo.

Good way for the league to generate more $$

1% of 9 billion is 90 million. But your point is good.

Local tailors are going to need a lot of cloth to introduce this years free agent class. C Jenkins, A Franklin, D Joesph. How sweet it is.
