If you owned a professional sports team...do you attend 100% of games? Home & Away?

What do you think the expectation is for owners of the teams?
The NFL is "easier" as it's once a week.
But what about MLB, NBA, NHL teams?
They play tons of games home and away throughout the week?

Expectations of the owners? They’ve got fu money. They aren’t concerned with expectations.

All home games I would attend
I’d probably loan out the owners box to the less fortunate and sit courtside with a coke and hotdog.

I’d travel to BFE to attend a “memorial service” for the end of your account here.

City pride man.
Away games are one thing but when you own a multi billion dollar team more is expected of you.
That’s life in really any position unfortunately. As you rise expectations of you rise. Well for certain people in our country at least. Everyone else gets a pass outside this one group.

Most owners are investors and could care less about the actual sport.
Personally, I’m a sports fan so would prob be more of a Mark Cuban type fan.
Not all owners are created equal tho. Many are more bottom line guys. As long as the team floats around .500, it gets fans excited enough to spend money. Owners over paying for players to win 2-3 more games doesn’t usually make financial sense.

You own a sports team. Everyone is "the less fortunate."

I would never go to any of them.

Depends on the sport.
Football - prolly.
Baseball & basketball - prolly not. Just way too many games...especially away.

It’s not you have to fly commercial and sit in the plane at a 90 degree angle to try and rest. You put a bed in your private jet and sleep during flights. You make your travel time your sleep time, take off at your convenience. The only games I’m missing is if it interferes with a meeting that would benefit my team in some fashion, like city hall meetings for a new stadium, merchandise deals, recruiting a high profile free agent, etc. I would also probably miss a few for my kids sports, at minimum send an intern to go live stream it so I can watch it, if I can’t make it.

Am I still an active CEO or am I at the coasting point of my "career"/retired? Former, no, latter yes. That being said, other than signing checks and being the common sense guy, I'd let the people I hire do their jobs.

NFL - every game. The owner is and should be more involved than in other sports.
MLB - attend majority of rival and divisional games, and all postseason.
NBA - Depends on how the team is performing. You can't expect the owner to sit through every game during tank years
NHL - see NBA

I’d probably attend home games as an NFL owner.
I’d probably only attend a quarter of the home games as an NBA or MLB owner. Just way too many of them.

Hiroshi Yamauchi owned the Seattle Mariners from 1992 to 2013. He never attended a Mariners game. He actually never went to a baseball game at all before buying the team.

I wonder if they can write it off when they "donate" the box for a game.

If I were wealthy enough to own a pro sports team I'd be wealthy enough to have better things to do than attend 100% of the games.

95% of home games. Maybe 30-40% of away games.
