that is excellent strategy, i wish more owners thought that way, however i can see why not many are adopting that : their profit margin decreased.

people spending increased 16% at the stadium

lets take Hotdogs... what were they charging before? 4 dollars? 7 dollars (article says 50% less but mentions 7 bucks for a hotdog) lets just go with 4 dollars a hot dog.

4 dollar hotdog vs 2 dollar hotdog.. profit margin on 2 dollar hot dog is what about 1.25 (cost being:75c for hot dog, bun, condiments, worker pay combined)?
4 dollar hotdog that same profit is 3.25..

so instead of selling 10000 hotdogs per game at $4, they sold 23200 hotdogs @$2 per game (16% more).. but that is lost "profit" due to the increased cost of materials (~33% less profit)

This assumes the food cost would stay the exact same, which most of the time it would not if you're ordering more product. Often placing larger orders lowers the price per unit, or deals where X amount of successive orders get cheaper and cheaper.

You're also paying wages hourly and not on a per hotdog basis, so that portion of costs also decrease

My guess is he expects Luck to be healthy enough to play or they are drafting a QB.

They have huge holes though. Offensive line sucks. Defense is horrid. I can't name a Colt's receiver. etc. On top of that Irsay seems all fucked up.

Just seems like he has a huge rebuilding job.

Yeah but if he has a franchise QB he has the most important piece.

Seriously, TY Hilton? Dude had nearly 1500 receiving yards before last year, averaged over 1K for the past five years and that includes when Luck was out.

That was my point. I think its iffy but either they are confident he is or they are confident their #3 pick will be.

Safer bet would be to turn that #3 pick into multiple picks and fix your O-Line issues over the next couple years.

You can't name a Colts receiver? TY Hilton? Led the league in yards last year with Luck playing?
