The trend is not the NFL’s friend. Ad revenue has not grown, make-goods are up, merch sales revenue is not great, fewer butts are in the seats, ticket prices are down. And if the upcoming season tickets sales revenues aren’t good....

The NFL can’t spin this anymore. Too much sucks.

[Ad revenue has not grown]

The NFL must not be concerned with ADS. They just turned down a patriot one sponsored by a VETERANS GROUP. Not over yet...

Bottom line: Did ad revenue decrease, flatline, or increase this year?

I searched "ad revenue nfl" and according to 'AdWeek' and "The Standard media Index" Ad revenue increased (around 2%, despite a slight dip in viewership 5%).
