Posted on: February 2, 2008 2:17 pm
The MLB is catching up to the NFL in total revenue. The MLB has finally post a $6 billion season, just behind the NFL. The MLB will see these numbers increase soon with seven new ballparks opening soon, two of the in New York. The MLB will also launch the Baseball Chanel in 2009 which will boost revenue further. Part of the revenue is better attendance, with more competitive balance, more fans have been going to smaller market team's games like the Brewers and Rockies. Also, the MLB has grown overseas faster than the NFL, which is way behind every major American sports league.
