Questions are already swirling around the upcoming NFL season. After both the Big 10 and Pac 12 announced they would delay the start of their seasons, it’s clear that playing football this fall is not a foregone conclusion. On top of concerns about the safety of players, personnel and staff during a fall surge in coronavirus cases, teams are also facing seriously reduced profit margins in playing in front of empty stadiums. While TV rights are still the big driver of revenue, franchises are going to take a massive hit on their margins without having an opportunity to sell everything from jerseys to hot dogs to the fans who show up to see it live.
So which NFL teams stand to take the biggest hit? Here’s a look at how the franchises could suffer if fan attendance is wiped out because of the coronavirus pandemic.
