Panthers Set Team Records For Attendance,
TV Audience And Total Revenue |
The CHARLOTTE BUSINESS JOURNAL’s Erik Spanberg reports the NFL Panthers set new
team records for home attendance, average TV audience and total revenue this season.
The team drew 670,204 fans, up from 656,490 in ’04, and posted an average TV audience
of 243,811 HHs per regular-season game, a 29% increase over last year. The team’s
total revenue of $180M marks a $10M improvement over ’04 (CHARLOTTE
BUSINESS JOURNAL, 1/6 issue).
SEAHAWKS: In Seattle, Susan Gilmore reported Qwest Field is sold out for
Redskins-Seahawks Saturday, as the final 2,000 tickets went on sale Monday and
were “snapped up in just 10 minutes.” StubHub.com stated the highest average ticket
price on its site for second-round NFL playoffs games is $364 for Panthers-Bears,
while the lowest average price is $172 for Patriots-Broncos (SEATTLE TIMES,
1/10).
49ERS: The S.F. BUSINESS TIMES’ Eric Young reports the average attendance
at 49ers home games this season was 51,068, a 3% increase over the average of
49,541 in ’04. Team officials “credit the uptick to fan interest in 2005 top draft
pick Alex Smith, a new coaching staff, ticket promotions and a new focus on group
sales.” The team said that group plans –- in which a group of 20 or more paid
$34 per seat, almost half the regular price — “were a hit” (S.F.
BUSINESS TIMES, 1/6 issue).
