Matthew Stafford's debut as the QB for the Rams against a team he knows very well in all the years in the NFC North? Plus, LA and CHI are two big markets.

Do you know the 506 sports forums? They can help you understand this type of stuff. Why the NFL schedules certain games the way they do. That forum specializes in talking about this sort of thing, about teams being played on television and how they work the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the league most likely would want to show off Kroenke's fully armed and operational battle station.

Red Comet Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The NFL put a Monday Night Football game at Arrowhead once the renovations to the stadium were complete in 2010 despite the Chiefs winning 10 games combined the previous 3 seasons. NFL sure does love showing off new stadiums. EDIT: And furthermore, this is why the NFL is the most popular league in the US and will be for at least a generation to come. It markets EVERYTHING. The :censored:ing schedule release is a highly anticipated event for fans. The schedule. The stadiums are part of the marketing too. Hell, they've even managed to promote fans rooting for as many teams as possible with fantasy football because the more players from various teams a fan supports, the more likely they are to buy merch from multiple teams. The NFL is a marketing juggernaut and even with Goodell's less than competent reign that hasn't changed. I don't even think concussions are going to dent it much. Boxing seemed to be killed in popularity more by going heavily to PPV rather than CTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fantasy players buying merchandise is a stretch. The NFL benefitting off fantasy with more eyeballs watching bad or insignificant games or higher season long TV sales is probably more realistic profit areas than a guy in Tacoma buying a Panthers jersey because Robby Anderson had a good fantasy day back in week 2.

Unless I'm buying a jersey of my fantasy league team, I don't see how anyone could buy jerseys of multiple NFL teams just because of the players on their fantasy league team.

Crabcake Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Some Ravens fans (like myself) viewed him as a solid consolation prize if we didn’t sign Justin Houston, although that was always fan speculation and never any signs of concrete interest from the team like there have been with Houston.

Since most people have their fantasy players for only one year, though, I don't think they get that attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it doesn't fit the fantasy angle, but think it does fit from a somewhat broader perspective, the idea of football fans and purchasing team gear that isn't the team they root for.
