kelly Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The Giants, Jets and Eagles are all among the most valuable franchises in the NFL, according to Forbes' annual list. The Giants came in at No. 4 with a value of $1,550 million, the Jets (6th) just trailed at $1,380M and the Eagles landed at 7th with $1,314 million. The Cowboys came in first for a seventh consecutive year, according to Forbes' Mike Ozanian, while the Oakland Raiders were the least valuable. Ozanian noted the Giants averaged 80,495 fans last year, beating all but Dallas in attendance, while the Jets only covered 92.5 percent of MetLife Stadium's capacity. He also reminded Eagles fans that Lincoln Financial Field will undergo renovations to the tune of $125 million "in private money." Also notable: NFL teams are worth $1.17 billion on average. "In contrast, the world's top 20 soccer teams have a mean value of $968 million. The average worth of Major League Baseball's 30 teams is $744 million. And average values for the National Basketball Association and National Hockey League, also each with 30 teams, are $509 million and $282 million, respectively," Ozanian wrote. > http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2013/08/giants_jets_and_eagles_in_top_10_of_forbes_annual_nfl_team_values_list.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
