We’ve seen franchise values go from $700 to $800 million for premium markets
to where they’re now worth $2.5 to maybe $4 billion. Owners have made in
franchise valuation, $2 to $2.5 billion. We’ve also seen a record revenue
stream come to baseball from two media sources, in the fact that we’ve got a
new TV contract where each club is going to get $25 million more per team per
year. And almost any club in baseball, before they sell a ticket, off the
general fund, revenue sharing and others, even the bottom teams, they’re
going to have well over $110 to $120 million to spend, add on their ticket,
concessions and other values. It’s really kind of a baseline where everybody
’s at $180 million and above to begin. You also have the value of regional
media rights, which we’ve seen in L.A. and we’re going to see in other
markets like Chicago.
If you look at certain owners, you have to say the Ricketts family for
example, they’re the Ameritrade family. Well, I see why. They bought
something for $800 million that’s now worth probably $2.5 billion and they
have a new TV contract to negotiate in 2014 off the basis of what’s going on
in Los Angeles with a $6 billion TV rights deal. And Philadelphia which may
be equivalent to that, and then following, Chicago. Many of these teams can
be great economic goliaths, and their owners have made very wise decisions
buying those teams in the early 2000s.
