Sports Franchises in the US

Sports franchises provide entertainment to millions of people in the US annually, but only individuals and collective owners in the highest income brackets can afford to operate a sports franchise. Depending on the sport, the value of a professional franchise can range between $200.0 million and $5.7 billion in total assets. Team owners are responsible for generating revenue through ticket sales, media deals and endorsements, maintaining team facilities and building a winning team. These revenue streams help maintain steady profit. Generating robust and diversified revenue streams to keep the business growing season to season is crucial for success.
