The League’s True MVPs: Top 10 Stadiums by Revenue | BNET

Raymond James Stadium

Raymond James Stadium

The team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Year opened: 1998
Stadium revenue: $224 million*
Average ticket price: $72*
Luxury suites: 200
Club seats: 12,000
Stadium capacity: 65,908*

When real estate baron Malcolm Glazer bought the Bucs in 1995, he promised to fund half of a new stadium if the city paid the rest. But after Glazer made friends with the right politicians, voters passed a 1996 proposal to fund the full price of a new stadium entirely through taxes.

    The real problem are the "redneck" drunks who occupy the seats. Filthy language, smell of alcohol and uncouth rabble.

    You gotta know jerryWorld will be big, beautiful and out-of-reach for the common man whom JJ and the rest of his owner's ilk would rather have to sit home and pay a subscription fee to watch all games on the NFL Network. The City of Arlington was sold a bill of goods, the Cowboys syncophant voters of Big A bought it hook, line and stinker.

    The city's infrastructure can't support the stadium and all its grand plans as is...too few cops, no public transit system that can get you to the stadium, so you'll have to pay to park.

    Yep, another private company gets the public to fund their playland and laugh all the way to the bank.

    No wonder most cities are pursuing sport venues and ballot measures. These are money makers!!

    Interesting data. I never though Dallas singles would be paying that high average price for sports tickets.
