It’s September and that means two things. It’s the start of fall and the NFL season. Football is celebrated all over the US every year. People have get-togethers, BBQ’s, and the Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year. With everyone cheating, cooking, and watching, how does the NFL season affect the US economy?
When people watch football, they only think of the game aspect and not the business aspect. The NFL is an entertainment business. It’s purpose is to entertain you. Aside from players and coaches, there are other jobs. There are owners and general managers, there’s doctors and athletic trainers, waterboys and people who run the team's media accounts. In NFL cities, there are about 110,000 jobs under the NFL and games add just over $5 billion to their city’s. There are also thousands of workers who help prepare and maintain the NFL’s stadiums and facilities.
Game day sales also keep business going. Restaurants and Bars are dependent on their sales because of how slow it gets in the summertime. During the NFL season a certain bar in Cleveland OH doubles their staff to keep up with the NFL season. The Cleveland Browns bring in $63 million dollars for Cleveland businesses.
This year in 2023, the state of Arizona hosted superbowl 57 between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. Because of this, it is estimated that Arizona made a benefit of almost $1 billion. On average, people who attend the Super Bowl will spend almost $200 per person at the game. The average ticket price for Super Bowl 57 was roughly $8,000.
The NFL season is not just for us to have an excuse to do nothing on sundays. The NFL season helps boost the economy and has a number of job opportunities. Whenever or wherever you watch this year, just keep that in the back of your head and enjoy.
