World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

Detroit is going to have a new soccer stadium in 2027 that seats 15k. Surprised they didn’t try to play at EMU or WMU until then. But maybe they’ll try to put a team back when that stadium is completed.

Full breakdown of prices from the 1st round of the lottery.

From the charts I’ve seen Cat. 1 are most of your lower bowl seats. Cat 2 are varying degrees of the upper level, center seats (some of the lower, upper-deck sideline seats are Cat 1 for some venues). Cat 3 are upper level, end seats. Cat 4’s are the most limited and are upper level, end seats that are in the corners of the venues.

Basically they are using the “50% of “fun” spending is done by the Top 10% of incomes” pricing model 🙄

Those are face value. The resale value on the secondary market will be insane. Tickets to the Final will cost more than my car.

La Liga is coming to America. Villareal is moving its home game with Barcelona on 20 December to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. How much money is Villareal going to make? It is offering season ticket holders either a discount on season tickets OR the club will pay transportation, accommodation and admission to the game. So the amount of money must be astronomical. La Liga says it will be beneficial to the entire federation, but outside of Barcelona (exposure, essentially an extra home game and oodles of cash) and Villareal (exposure, oodles of cash) I fail to see how this benefits the rest of the league. What benefit do Sevilla or Getafe get out of this?

I doubt Villareal is making a killing on this. They probably got a big enough check from Stephan Ross to make it worth it for them but I’m going to hazard a guess that most of the $500 ticket money is going to Ross.
 
We have two more qualifiers in Egypt and Algeria. We should have most of the African qualifiers by next week and the final qualifiers from Asia as well.

More eyeballs on any La Liga game means more money for the entire league in future tv negotiations.

I doubt this is going to move the needle. La Liga games are carried by ESPN+ and average 100-200,000 viewers. Even El Clasico tops out around 650,000 even though it gets aired on the network. This may draw a decent audience because it will probably also be televised on ESPN or ESPN2, but it would have to vastly outperform other La Liga games to get TV executives to notice. The current ESPN+ deal runs through 2029.

Also, the players are pissed. This extra travel and switching six time zones is going to be a nightmare for them. Better than the Serie A teams that are going to play in Australia though...
