Jerry's money

[playmakers]

Watching Hard Knocks makes me think how does Jerry or any owner have enough money to pay for these players.

1. For starters, we have all of their large contracts. Thats at least 100 million a year in cap money.

2. Renting those rooms out for training camp would not come cheap. It appeared every player had their own room and they were nice. Minmum, 100 dollars a night per room. You have 80 players plus another 30 in coaches, trainers, equipment etc and your talking 110 rooms. Thats about 11,000 dollars a day. Roughly were spending about 2 weeks there and you have a grand total of about 145,000 dollars.

3. You have to feed these players and thats not going to come cheap. 110 players plus coaches etc, times 3 meals a day is alot. Say it costs 10 dollars per player, per meal. You have 3 meals a day, so we have a grand total of 30 per person. Thats another 3300 a day x 14 = 46,200.

4. Charting a team plane is not cheap.


Ok, were does Jerry make a profit from. Say you have 8 home games of 60000 paying customers. The avearge ticket is say 50 dollars. Thats only 3 million dollars. Were still about a 100 million short. I know you get money from TV and selling of merchandise. Does that really add up to being a 100 mil???? Where does all the money come from? To me it just doesnt add up.

I don't know where all his money is generated but I do know that if I could sell a bottle of beer for $7 I too would be pretty well off.

Hoof, I beileve that money goes to the city if Im not mistaken. All vending and parking goes to the city.

 

[djtavo]

Im sure Jerry gets those hotels probably for free as long as the Hotel names are advertise, Think about how much money the stadium generates in parking alone, also think about food and beer. Jersey sales and Dallas cowboys stores around the nation.

You're probably a right.

I remember reading where the TV contract gives each team $87 million this year. I would guestimate that the tickets, etc probably bring in around $15 million. Then there is the cut of the revenue from NFL properties (T Shirts, caps, Jackets, etc). Have absolutely no idea how much that brings in per year but its a lot. Jerrah's making a good profit of that you can be sure.



Here is something: said total revenue to the teams was $187 million each in 2004

I knew Jerry was really rich when he said "I could be doing anything in the world I wanted to, but I want to be here with you guys, the Dallas Cowboys." Jerry probably defines the term of "having your money work for you"

Believe you me...

JJ is not paying 100$ a night for each of those rooms. Just renting an entire hotel for 2 weeks gets you a major discount on individual room pricing. (If not free, as mentioned above)
Same goes for buying food, water, etc. in bulk.

Then you factor in the publicity for being the Cowboys hotel, drink, etc. of choice and pretty soon, they owe Jerry some money.

I would venture to say that there are contracts in place that say something to the effect of, 'The Dallas Cowboys will stay in Marriotts for free any time over the course of 2 years and in return, Marriott is allowed to plaster their logo behind 1 press conference/month, have ads in Texas Stadium and call them selves the 'home away from home' of the Dallas Cowboys'. for the duration of the contract.'

Something like that.

Are you,by chance,a 'bean counter' by profession? I also wonder what the odds are you still have the first dollar you ever made. Just sayin....!

Now I havent watched Hard knocks at all. But they used to have training camps based around using college dorms that were empty in the summer time.

Stephen Jones said once that the expenses for a road game were approximately $100K. That's been a few years ago.

Look around Texas Stadium at all of the signs for Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Papa Johns, etc and you'll see where the money comes from.

There are 10 home games, 8 regular season and 2 pre-season.

Texas Stadium has a seating capacity of slightly over 65,000 seats and the average cost is probably closer to $100 because of what they charge for the luxury seats. It may even be more than that.

65,000 seats x $100 = $6,500,000 per game

$6,500,000 x 10 games = $65,000,000

 

[Hoofbite]

Wait until he signs that Stadium naming deal.

But they don't get to keep all of that money. It goes in to a league pot to divided amongst the all the teams in the league. They get to keep the money from the preseason games only.

dont forget about those gas station hot dogs that are 2 for $2, but the stadium sells them for 5 bucks each and 7 if you want chili.

$0.99 for a 44 ounce at a gas station.....but a 32 ounce costs you 5-7 dollars at a game and you dont even get a lid.

you can go to walmart and buy 12" stuffed toys for like $5. any stuffed toy at a game starts off at $20. At a Spurs game, if you want a decent sized stuffed coyote for the kiddo, you better take out a loan against your home.
