Stadium Discussion

Expect a monster nyc signing in summer of 26.
I really appreciate your financial analysis and understanding. So I don't want to put you in any uncomfortable situation and ask you to out who you are or your source for this prediction. I'll simply say that I hope you have inside knowledge and this isn't just speculation / hopefulness.
 
Haha. No it’s just logic/speculation. They’re gonna wanna open the stadium with a bang. 25 was too early and 27 might be too late. They need to fill the stadium. Everyone is complaining about pricing. Etc. mls 3.0 is gonna split the league into 3 tiers. The globalists Miami/city/toronto/lafc/Chicago are focused on media revenue and will drive premium signings with all that stadium revenue and shirt sales. The league is done with survival mode.

I agree. I have been saying the same, that they very temporarily shift from young unproven ROI blue print to open the stadium with some bigger signing. The sweet spot timing wise is being able to entice a big name to come to open the stadium without their having to play the limbo season in empty baseball stadiums. And with the additional goal of finishing up some season tickets sales, filling up the stadium during the inaugural season and also opening the stadium with some attention. We shall see though, this may make too much sense.
 
Good comp. I think etihad is paying 9. 5000 premium seats are gonna generate say 25mm per year? Maybe more. The other 20k will generate 40mm. So that’s 75. Concessions. Merch. Then you’ve got summer concerts and soccer tours each worth 1-2mm. 100mm. Debt service on 750 is about 55. No taxes IIRC.
That’s the revenue on those premium seats. But the cost to NYCFC is going to be huge as the fans will realize with the included liquor the only way to get their money back (because the product on the field isn’t equivalent to Manchester City despite the price of the seats being the same or even more) is become alcoholics.

I’m having at least six drinks a game by the first half. Joking, maybe.

I remember at a Yankees playoff game in the early 2010s, a famous media personality said jokingly to his table of four, I need all of you to eat together $20k of food to makeup the price of these tickets
