Re: Cowboys Still Most Valuable NFlL Team
sometimes what you put in matters more than what you put out...lol
but the Cowboys been riding high ever since the golden 90s(and before), even though they haven't been winning like they should. even through all of that, Jerry Jones knows how to continually make money(not so much on wins it seems.) that how Patriots got up there so with the 2000s. they were winning contiguously and Patriotism helped out A LOT during those years. their ownership knew it was time to capitalize and they did/doing.
"NEW YORK- The Dallas Cowboys are the first American sports franchise worth more than $2 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
The NFL's most valuable team for the sixth consecutive year, the Cowboys saw their overall worth increase 14 percent to $2.1 billion. That's about $1 billion higher than the average NFL team value, $1.11 billion, up 7 percent.
Only Manchester United of the English Premier League, at $2.24 billion, is more valuable than the Cowboys, according to Forbes' surveys. And Man U's owners, the Glazer family, also own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are $1.033 billion, 18th in the NFL.
New TV contracts, the collective bargaining agreement signed last year that will last a decade, and higher premium seating revenue contributed to the increases. Every franchise except the Cincinnati Bengals increased in value; the Bengals stayed the same at $871 million, which ranks 26th overall.
With new stadiums in the works for the Vikings and 49ers, their values skyrocketed. Minnesota had a 22 percent increase to $975 million, while San Francisco moved up 19 percent to $1.175 billion."
