NFLPA, Economist Discuss Impact of 2011 NFL Lockout
Edgeworth Economics Senior Vice President Jesse David and NFLPA Assistant Executive Director of External Affairs George Atallah held a conference call today to discuss the economic impact of a 2011 lockout.
The discussion focused on an independent study conducted by Edgeworth Economics. Edgeworth’s study is based on publicly available data from NFL teams, stadium managers/owners and other public agencies.
Edgeworth estimates that a NFL Lockout in 2011 would result in an average of lost revenue of $20 million per game that is not played (the range runs from about $12 million to $40 million) or an average of about $160 million in local spending. In addition, a protracted lockout could cost each NFL city as much as 3,000 jobs.
