The owners wouldn’t bother with this unless there is already some interest.
Maybe all of those Packers “shareholders” can actually own a piece of the team.
PE may also want to eventually own the team outright after the current owner dies/sells the team.
It’s more interesting to see what happens with new stadium funding or renovations. Can they keep getting governments to chip in?
Also thinking of supply and demand. Only 32 teams (for now), but may increase the demand of those wanting at least a piece of a team would drive up values.
And somehow even the stupidest NFL owners have made a ton of money.
NFL seems to be the only major sport right now that doesn’t allow PE investment.
Not sure I see a whole lot of difference in how NFL owners operate compared to other leagues.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they move higher than 10% after a few years and the first round of investments. They don’t really have a massive pool of billionaires looking to buy new franchises so I’m sure this helps a little.
It’s hard to lose money owning an NFL franchise. Such a gravy train.
NFL Franchises have gotten so valuable that there are not many individuals left who can outright buy into the club. This will allow for new money to flow into this cash cow. And that’s the upside for PE…it’s a cash cow! They may not get much say in how things are run, but not sure with the ROI that the league has seen that PE investors would feel the need to change much. They just want the investment gains.
I remember when NFL franchises cost just $100. This inflation is out of control!
If I’m a PE investor, do I get free season tickets and NFL Red Zone?
Caleb Williams is giving a diamond encrusted “heart pendant” to the Bears offensive linemen. That’s nuts.
Note this is a parody, but I still found it funny.
Commanders fire VP for comments on players, Jones, Goodell - ESPN
This guy really got his money’s worth insulting the players, fans, Jerry Jones, Roger Goodell, Christians, African Americans, league’s DEI policy and exposing his team lied about dumping sewage on fans. Shocking that they let him go.
More importantly, season finally here! LFG!!!
Well, some of it was true: mouth-breathing fans, homophobic players, Jerry Jones. Blind nut finding a squirrel, and all.
The guy is an idiot. It’s stupid to be saying that sort of stuff period, let alone to someone you just met.
However, an “undercover date” is a pretty low blow in terms of journalism.
Also, you have but a few hours left to submit a full entry into the FSP game.
Why do we judge people by the organ they choose to inhale with? That’s flat-out organism.
You tracheotomeyist!
Love that NBC just showed replays of the Chiefs LT and practically every one of them was a play that could have been called for a hold.
Which reminds me of the scrutiny by the officials of the offensive linemen lining up in the backfield for easier pass protection.
