Valuation of NFL Teams

Doesn't mean a thing. It's all tax exempt land so NJ barely makes a dime. In fact, when the SB was at the Meadowlands 5+ years ago, ALL of the Super Bowl events were held in NYC. New York got most of the revenue and NJ got blamed for bad transit to and from the event.

Little brother.

It's "tax exempt land" because they rent it (don't own it). The land is owned by the state-run New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA).

The New York Giants and Jets generate an estimated $300 M in annual direct economic impact for New Jersey, largely through visitor spending, local hospitality, and job support. While the teams' massive franchise revenues stay private, they pay the state a combined ground lease of $6.3 M annually.

But Oakland doesn't have San Francisco's NFL or MLB teams.

I think that right now that locale, whether in one state or another, has to worry more about having losing teams than revenue. It has had that for a long time.

While I know what you are saying and that may be a concern for fans, but for the owner of each NFL team, not really. Every NFL team turns a massive profit. Doesn't matter if they win a Super Bowl or go 0-17. The Average profit of each team in the NFL in 2025 was $151M, that is profit, not total revenue, which was $692M.

Hard not to make a huge profit, when each team is guaranteed a national media payout of $432.6 million in 2025. Who pays for that? Fans that watch the NFL and/or anyone buying the products advertised.

Notice where both the Giants and Jets are on the top 5 list.

The top NFL teams by operating income (profit) and estimated revenue for the 2025 financial period include:

• Dallas Cowboys
  • Revenue: $1.234 billion
  • Operating Income (Profit): $629 million
• Los Angeles Rams
  • Revenue: $764 million
  • Operating Income (Profit): $244 million
• New England Patriots
  • Revenue: $762 million
  • Operating Income (Profit): $222 million
• New York Giants
  • Revenue: $707 million
  • Operating Income (Profit): $181 million
• New York Jets
  • Revenue: $663 million
  • Operating Income (Profit): $180 million

People laugh at Jerry Jones and call him a terrible owner. Maybe, when it comes to his player decisions, but he knows what he is doing when it comes to making money.
