Attanasio group paid $223 million in 2005 for the Brewers. Estimated value is now $1.6 billion. A 7x return. About double the return of the stock market over same time span.
By contrast, the Packers were valued at $849 million in 2005. Now valued at $4.25 billion. I appreciate the Packers don’t have a conventional owner. However, Packers franchise value went up 5x, since 2005 (less than Milwaukee).
I loved (to hate) the 90’s NFL super teams of Dallas and San Francisco. Today’s NFL product, while popular, seems far less entertaining, to me.
