Quote:Thanks for supporting my point completely.  They wouldn't be there to see the Jaguars. They'd be there for the novelty of watching football at a speedway. 

Actually that has been my point all along. The jags need to take advantage of the novelty aspect
. That's when the publicity and the profits are the greatest. After that, ditch the venue.


History shows that season ticket prices would not remain "flat" if they pull a game from our rotation.  My ticket prices remained the same last year with one fewer game as they were the year before.  So, the prices actually went up to cover the lost opportunity, as I suspect they would do again to some extent if they pulled yet another game. 

That's what flat means. The total price of season tickets don't change. I mentioned that because of how Khan did it with the London games duh.


How do you know what my background is? 

I don't, but I know it's not business. Being that is my field of education, it is easy to spot someone who doesn't understand the concepts.
You are pretty ignorant of a lot of business
basics.


Short answer is you have no clue. 

Pretty obvious.


I'm sure you have all sorts of experience in expanding a small business into a multibillion dollar operation, right? 

 No, but I have the basic education on the subject which you lack.


 

Tap dance as you see fit.  I don't see any mention of London in this post, and the conversation we were having where you injected this bit of nonsense was specifically focused on Daytona, not London.  But, even if your point was about London, I've addressed that as well in this thread, so keep on trying, TMD Jr.  

Tap dance? I specifically refered to Khans methods. You are the one who mistakenly assumed I was claiming Daytona was Khans idea. That's all on your reading comprehension there.


Khan's methods are always focused on maximizing the bottom line.  That's why the team is playing a game in London.  Playing one in Daytona would not have the same impact, or even come close.  The team retains every penny of revenue from preseason games.  That money is not shared with the league.  So, playing games at home in the preseason gives the Jaguars more revenue opportunity than splitting the gate with the International Speedway.  I don't see Daytona offering to host a game for free.

This is where your lack of business acumen shows itself. Just because one business opportunity outweighs another doesn't mean you turn down the lesser one unless it is mutually exclusive. To do that will hurt your "bottom line".


 

So what happens to the "bottom line"  when the London games end? Do you want Khan to jack up everyone's season ticket prices by one game to compensate or would you rather him host a preseason game in Daytona
which you can go pay to watch at your discretion? Either way Khan gets his money.


 

Sure Khan will have to split some of the gate, but he also won't have to pay for the operation or the staffing of the stadium and he can set the ticket prices to his discretion.
Plus, playing in Daytona will give the team another nationally televised game, increase advertising revenue and product sales, and expand goodwill which is an asset in a nearby MSA of 600,000 people.
