Because of the coronavirus pandemic, how the NFL plays its 2020 season is unknown. While other professional sports leagues have been on hold, the NFL season is still months away.
That said, there is a possibility that, if the NFL season begins on time in September, it could be that games are played with no fans in the stadium.
That would cause franchises to lose a lot of potential revenue from ticket sales, merchandise sales in the stadium, concessions and parking.
How much revenue?
Forbes put together a list of the stadium revenue each team would lose. In all, teams would lose an estimated $5.5 billion in total stadium revenue, which would account for 38% of total revenue, based on 2018 numbers.
According to the list, the Arizona Cardinals would lose $119 million in stadium revenue, which is far less than others. That would rank 23rd in the league.
The team who would lose the most revenue are the Dallas Cowboys, who would lose an estimated $621 million.
