Sports bubble watch: Giants waiting list has evaporated
In a Newsday column mostly about the lagging naming-rights market — both the Dallas Cowboys stadium opening this year and the New York Giants and Jets stadium opening in 2010 still haven't found buyers for their stadium names — sports business writer Neil Best reveals this tidbit as well:
The Giants are further along in their sales process but still have personal-seat licenses available at club levels for $20,000, $12,500 and $7,500 &mdash ones that come with game tickets at $700, $500 and $400.
Johnson and Mara expressed confidence that they will be sold out before the 2010 openers. But Mara confirmed that the Giants have moved through their notoriously long waiting list and that tickets now are available to the public.
What this means is that at least 60,000 Giants fans have been offered the chance to buy season tickets at the new place, and replied, "Not at those prices." See why I'm concerned for Santa Clara?
