The 49ers’ profit-margin in Santa Clara-Tim Kawakami
- Thread starter Jville
- Start date
They are always going to look to extend their own guys, first. Baalke came from the school where you build the team through the draft and look to extend your own guys. He is a fan mostly of cheap free agent signings or signing former first round busts as pet projects.

The author correlates one time seat license fees with annual income insinuating that the revenue will keep being that large
That is flawed but sure $100M in one year is huge but won't happen again...

^^^^ if it ever even happens one time in the first place.
It's Kawakami. It's just more of what he's "heard." As a 9ers fan I'd course like for this to be true, but really, good or bad this guy is always full of it. 100 million, eh? A nice, big, round audacious number. Don't buy it for a sec.

I can't stand Kawakami, but everything I've read says that he's correct here.
HUGE $$$$$ coming in when the new stadium opens. I've read as much as an additional 100 mil per year in other columns (tho they may be quoting Kawakami). Helps when giving out signing bonuses and helps signing coaches...but not sure how much of an on-field effect it will have. Those two richest teams quoted in the article aren't exactly setting the world on fire on the field.

^ But I read the article as the $100 million coming due to PSL sales - which makes total sense
BUT it is a ONE TIME THING

No...its not just the SBLs because those go directly to the stadium financing. It has more to do with the ticket sales that are attached to those SBLs and are paid for every year.
Its the Santa Clara Stadium Authority that is getting those SBLs to pay down the debt.
The new revenue is from ticket sales (and prices have doubled in place and MUCH more than doubled in Club seats), new partnerships in the Silicon Valley companies, new concession sales and contracts, etc. Huge new revenue streams...not just a one time thing.
Again tho, not sure how much difference it will make on the field. There is still a salary cap. They just won't have to be like Art Modell with the Browns who had to take out a loan from a bank in order to pay Andre Risons signing bonus.
