Padres- new ball park and no competition from NFL, NHL, or NBA


Padres only own 30% of the stadium.

The 2024 Major League Baseball season recorded increases in attendance, viewership, streaming, and fan engagement in its second season of new rules which have shortened games, removed dead time, helped showcase the athleticism of the players and created more action on the bases.


Since the institution of the new rules, attendance has grown by nearly 6.8 million marking a +11% increase since 2022.


Major League Baseball’s national television partners enjoyed a successful season with increases in television viewership and younger fans. MLB’s national television partners registered double digit growth in the Adult 18-34 category including ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball (+12%), FS1 (+24%) and MLB Network (+36%). In addition, FOX registered a +9% increase in the 18-34 demo.

Ratings for MLB games in primetime rank first locally on cable in 20 of the 25 (80%) U.S. markets that host MLB Clubs.

They are happy just collecting our money. I don’t think they care if we win at all. They still end up richer at the end of every season.

I’m seeing their payroll as $82 mil and his contract is $11 mil a year?

I am the most casual of baseball fans, so I'm ignorant of many topics related to MLB. Can someone help me understand how the FL teams are so unsuccessful off the field. Booming state with large Hispanic population. Are they really mismanaged that much?

I don’t know anything about Ricketts and his other business ventures, but just because their valuation is that high if they were to be sold doesn’t mean he/they are liquid enough to be spending the 4th most amount of money.
