I think GB is a small city, so perhaps their TV market is small, but apparently they are always sold out, have like a 20 year wait list for season tickets, and have like second most team jersey/ related sales. plus they manage their roster mostly with smart draft picks and have a relatively low total salary number compared to most teams. so, yeah, they are basically a public owned, non-profit team, so likely doing quite well as is. and just won another SB, those lucky fans.
Those poorer teams, only get like 300 million, not sure how they make it. you know like 3 years ago total revenue was like 5 billion, now its 9 billion, likely to go up more if we have Thursday night football and 18 game schedule, so tough to see the struggles to maintain stadiums as claimed. I guess some teams do have better stadium deals than others however. stadium deals does figure into the revenue sharing plan for all of this somehow.
