Despite a 99-day lockout that delayed the season, Major League Baseball is set t
o eclipse its 2019 revenue.
It’s safe to say that we’ll be higher than we were in 2019,MLB chief revenue o
fficer Noah Garden told Forbes.
雖然季前歷經了99天的封館
但大聯盟首席營收官Noah Garden接受《富比士》採訪時說到
今年MLB營收預計要超越疫情前的2019年，創歷史新高紀錄了
The league earned $10.7 billion in the last pre-pandemic season.
2019年大聯盟營收為107億美金(折合3387億台幣)
所以今年營收會超越這數字
Garden estimates that league attendance will finish the season at around 95-96%
of 2019 levels, blaming the pandemic for reduced crowds earlier this year.
由於季初還是有受到一些疫情影響
Garden預估今年總進場人數只回到疫情前的95-96%
He also said that this year will see the “most merchandise sold in the history
of our sport, both domestically and internationally.”
但今年賣出史上最多的紀念品
無論國內還海外
