Super Bowl
I heard an interesting discussion on the radio this morning about how the economy has affected sports. In some ways, it seems like it hasn’t been affected at all. After all, you don’t hear about players or coaches getting laid off in large numbers, like you had last week at Microsoft and other places. But it is a little more subtle in the sports world. Sponsorship is down. And tickets sellers have a bit less flexibility in terms of their prices now. Even on the non-primary market levels of the ticket business, the prices are dropping a bit more than usual. Not that they are going to be $10 to see the big game, but still, decent for such a high-profile event.
