Some have said that fans will eventually come back.
Some will, but what if we see a long term drop of 10 or 15% in ratings?? That would have a huge financial impact.
And we will have to wait and see, how many season ticket holders decide not to renew next year. If 10% or more fail to renew, that too will leave a mark.
What about those skybox rentals?? How many corporate and wealthy people who rent those will vote no for next year?
Be funny if ticket prices for NFL games drop on StubHub so that the hoodrats start buying them and going to the games.
