As expat living in the US, I say no thank you. We get preseason exhibition matches here and they gouge the fans for meaningless matches with half the first team missing. God knows what they'd charge for a real match. I'd rather spend the extra on a flight to Europe, have a real atmosphere in a proper football ground rather than an NFL stadium.

@charliebrett2432 Жыл бұрын

But mate that's because you're not American and so are not insane. It is literally the American way of life to spend insane amounts of money on the commercialisation of big "finals" like matches. Without doubt if there were any knockout UCL games in the US they could charge triple the ticket price and generate twice as much ad revenue than normal. I personally would hate to see it happen considering its a European comp, but from a purely financial perspective, it will inevitably happen.

@Emz7 it's not about views. It's about revenue. The CL may get more viewers than the NBA, but the NBA makes far greater revenue than UEFA. UEFA averages around 2 billion in revenue, but the NBA averages around 8 billion. It's not the fault of UEFA though. Ads are what bring in most of the revenue. The only room for ads in soccer is during pre-match, half-time and post-match. However, NBA has ad-breaks throughout the game. Simply put, soccer pales in revenue when compared to the NFL, NBA and MLB because of the nature of the sport. It sucks, but it's true. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The reason I say it's a big F U to the fans is because the games will get played in a country where a majority of the fans don't care about the teams playing, yet the real fans who probably could have afforded to go to the game in Europe, now can't and have to watch it on TV.

Football is slowly killing itself. Not the numbers of people watching or playing, but the soul of the game is being destroyed by these businessmen in suits. First was the stupid away goals rule which took far too long to get rid of. Then its the preseason tournaments to cash in on the 'fans' on the far side of the world. Now its playing matches or even finals in foreign continents. Thank God I support a team that will probably never play Champions League football. No one cares about the Club World Cup. No one cares about the Europa Conference League. Stop being greedy FFS! Stop trying to turn Football into American Football. We don't need to grow the sport like they do. Football needs protecting not innovating!

The only good thing about playing some games, playing some gamos of big football clubs like Milan, Juve, PSG, etc in America is the extra promotion that those clubs will have worldwide. A Bayern Vs Juve match in America and with celebrities attending it like DiCaprio, The Kardashians, etc will be extra world wide publicity for those clubs. Giving of course that those clubs are looking for or wanting that extra publicity.

PSG a big club?.

The Italian clubs would jump at the chance because there in financial ruin and can't compete financially with other top European clubs

Who gives a s**t about Kardashian, DiCaprio at football games. If you care about those, look at them on some gossip channel. They have zero relevance to anyone who cares about football.

Exactly. It’s been a big reason man city has grown in the last 3-5 years. It’s a huge reason man United grew to where it is now. Same can be said about all the top clubs. American tv money and sponsor money is a big deal. The nfl alone makes 13 billion a year if Uefa can add some to that nfl audience the money will be massive for them. Even a small sport like baseball made $10 billion in 2022 in America.

There is still a limit of how many people can go to the game in New York between Inter and Milan and the rest will be watching it on tv just like THE REST OF THE WORLD so who cares WHERE it is.

I'm in shock , I find myself agreeing with Danny Murphy , what about the real fans, most of them can't afford to fly to USA , the UEFA doesn't care, they have dollars in their eyes, they'll be trying the super league again soon.
