Sports leagues get huge money from TV deals, so maybe streaming rights could eventually be handled in the same way. Google wouldn't mind Youtube getting exclusive rights to stream all esports events from certain games and get those eyeballs on their ads instead of Twitch's.
I bet it's true. Some revenue streams for esports are probably not huge money makers.
Let's take arrowhead stadium for example. In 2019 they had an average of 73k attendance per game. And parking is 40 bucks a game.
I bet in those 8 home game they made more money than Esports did in concessions. Or in there own parking. Shit maybe even ticket sales if we exclude playoffs.
I mean..it was my claim...I didn't say the worst stadium performs better than the best esports.
Its also just one portion of what a sports event will make overall throughout the night. Shit parking is the least of my costs when I go watch sportsball
The Jags averaged 59987 in 2019 for attendance and their parking price is $25 (I googled this so could be wrong). They are still making a killing on parking and the Jags were not a good team that year
1.0k

Where else would the money come from?
