I remember making a thread a couple years ago on the old board when the Bengals were valued at just under $1 billion (according to Google they were worth $900 million in 2013). Just saw an article that puts their value at $1.65 billion today. That is insane... the value of the team has gone up almost $700 million in three years with no significant changes to the organization. It's good to be a Brown.

Curious. Does anyone know what it means when it says the county will start paying some of the team's game day expenses?

Tobin is pretty significant so is the cafe and training facility overhaul

Are you being serious?  The Bengals don't own the stadium, so I am confident it does not even factor into the value of the franchise.  Even if it did, those things would not raise the value of the franchise by $700 million.

I never said they did raise the value by 700 million I was just highlighting some significant changes of the years.

Tobin = Winning

Winning = More Success

More Success = More fans/happy current fans

More fans/happy fans = more sales

More sales = more cash

More cash = more value


Winning is limited though by the Bengals small market but paramount to getting maximum value.

opposite end of spectrum...30th in the league rankings for overall value... http://www.cincyjungle.com/2016/9/20/12983490/bengals-30th-forbes-ranking-most-valuable-nfl-franchises

I read an article the other day that said the offensive line "ain't worth a shit"...

It has little to do with the Bengals and more to do with the NFL in general. Every team is worth at least a billion in a half.

They are definitely at the bottom end of the spectrum, part of which I think has to do with not owning the stadium.  It just goes to show that the NFL is basically a license to print money.  And it's good to be born with the right last name

Much more, the Bengals are the 30th ranked team.

They apparently get partial valuation from it. Probably for the small bits they've paid for and such. The site says $142m of their value is from the stadium. Meanwhile the Dallas Cowboys (1st at $4.2b) owns their stadium, so it adds $1.041b to their value.

even with that they are rated 30th most valuable NFL franchise.

I overlooked that.  Still very curious what it means when it says the county will start paying game day expenses next year.

A few other interesting tidbits in regards to the valuing of NFL Franchises:

Rams about doubled their value from the move to L.A. alone
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17545786/los-angeles-rams-double-value-move-california

Also, the least valuable franchise as of now is the Buffalo Bills at...get this...1.5 billion.

I just wish I would've had the foresight to major in "NFL Owner" in college.

You'd actually have been better off buying the UFC. It'd have been a more realistic purchase, too since it was sold in 2000 for "just" $2m.

Sold 16 years later for $4b.

Talk about return on investment.

You may have missed the class offering.  It was listed under "Lucky Sperm Club 401", it is an upper level class made available to only a select few

water sewage and power maybe?

Being one of the lowest valued teams at over a billion dollars is there any wonder so many people perceive the NFL as being rigged? If you had multi billion dollars invested in anything much less football would you leave things up to chance?

That is actually the thing that tells me it is not rigged.  The level of conspiracy necessary to pull that off would be massive.  It would take an incredible number of people, and people talk.  Computers get hacked, files get lost.  If it were to come out that the NFL is rigged, that would be the end of the money train.  You would see the league's popularity plummet along the the revenues.

It is good to be King !
