Full Versus Half-Full Stadiums

from Sports Economics · host Dr Liam Lenten

We use a simple microeconomic theoretical model to illustrate how it is possible to compare two professional sports teams, one of which sells-out every home game, and the other only half-fills their stadium -- yet the management of both teams are equally happy with the status quo. Some material in these videos is based on textbook examples from: Sports Economics (3rd edn.)
