NFL considers matches to maximize TV revenue
Sam Farmer of the LA Times had access to the producers of the show and wrote an article about it. JoeBucsFanA well-known source close to the organization learned that each year, before the NFL releases its official season schedule, the league receives a lot of requests from teams for certain games or certain dates they want to be at home. on the way.
This is nothing new and has now become an annual practice. The NFL takes every request it receives very seriously, but it is not easy to make everyone happy, thus causing almost every team to be unhappy on some level.
“So every time a team sends us a request and they say, ‘Hey, can you get us going in Week 2, we’ve got Elton John or Lady Gaga,’ you think, ‘Yeah, sure. Additionally, referring to concerts in stadiums, NFL’s scheduling officer Michael North said, “One week for them shouldn’t be a problem for the league office, right? Just block it.”
“But the team says, ‘Ultimately don’t ruin our schedule. We still want to open at home. Just get us on the road in Week 2 and we’ll be home again in Week 3.’ But if 16 clubs have similar demands, that becomes a pretty big constraint in a very challenging puzzle that gets harder and harder.”
The main goal of the NFL is to match teams that will get the maximum amount of viewership and more TV revenue while being fair.
Now that the Denver Broncos have Russell Wilson and the Indianapolis Colts have Matt Ryan, these franchises are likely to pull even bigger numbers. By comparison, the Seattle Seahawks or Atlanta Falcons won’t attract a lot of viewers. So if the Seahawks’ inaugural game continues, the league will not resume the Broncos game at the same time.
According to NFL broadcast chief Howard Katz, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a wildcard and top priority for the league. That comes as no surprise as it has rocked the entire league this season.
“When Tom Brady retired, we were worried about the strength of the NFC package because there were so many great Tampa Bay games we were looking at, then he retired a month later and we started all over again,” Katz said. .
It’s a mystery what demands the Pirates made to the league office, most likely the team may have requested one of three Christmas games to be held in Tampa. The Bucs may also want to open up on the way, as the University of South Florida will play an home game at Licht House every Saturday before the official NFL opening on 9/11.
