Dallas Cowboys Franchise Richest in NFL
NFL Teams Have Avg. Worth of $1B
The Dallas Cowboys are elite players in one of the world’s richest sports, Forbes magazine says.
The magazine this week released its list of most valuable (or wealthiest) National Football League sports teams, and the Dallas Cowboys came out on top, with the team valued at $1.6 billion.
Forbes noted that the new Cowboys stadium is another potential boon for the team’s wealth, with the new home expected to rake in approximately $100 million more than the Cowboys' current stadium.
The Dallas Cowboys in net value are trailed by the Washington Redskins (No. 2); the New England Patriots (No. 3); the New York Giants (No. 5); the Houston Texans (No. 6); the Philadelphia Eagles (No. 7); the Indianapolis Colts (No. 8); and the Chicago Bears (No. 9).
When it comes to wealth in the NFL, the size of a team’s stadium can make all the difference in the world, according to Forbes.
In 1998, the Indianapolis Colts were ranked last on the list. However, a move into a new stadium this season has the Colts singing a different money tune. The team is currently valued at $1.1 billion, an increase of 474 percent when compared to 1998, and is ranked eighth on Forbes’ list. The Colts' new Lucas Oil Stadium is expected to add $30 million in revenue, with Lucas Oil agreeing to pay $122 million for naming rights over the next two decades, Forbes said.
